The Integration of Trade Books into the Social Studies Curriculum.
Fuhler, Carol J.
Middle School Journal, v24 n2 p63-66 Nov 1992
Safe, noncontroversial social studies textbooks are neither meaningful nor necessary according to many students. As an alternative, teachers can integrate well-written trade books into the social studies curriculum. Well-researched diaries, journals, biographies, and autobiographies should become an integral part of the curriculum. (28 references) (MLF)
