Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of real history stories, simple enough for little children, that can be read to children early on, and later read by the child himself. The subjects have been chosen mainly from the history of the United States, but a few Old World stories have been included. The characters are few and distinct: there are women as well as men, girls as well as boys, in a variety of settings. A large number of these little stories have been especially adapted for use in connection with the various holidays and anniversaries that fall within the school year, and may be used in an order following the annual calendar rather than in the order in which they appear in the book. At the end of the book are supplementary notes for many of the stories that are addressed to the teacher. These supply additional information and make suggestions for activities in connection with the stories. Includes 27 illustrations by Maud and Miska Petersham.

Download or read book A Primary History written by William H. Mace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primary History: Stories of Heroism In the first few years of school life the pupil is busy with the Fairy Story, the Myth, and the Legend. These stories serve the purpose of a reading lesson, a language lesson, or it may be a lesson in literature. They also serve another purpose. The characters in these stories act, and their acts or deeds serve as signs of what they think and of how they feel. They thus prepare the way for a better understanding of the study of history. Again there are characters doing good deeds, and characters doing bad deeds. These are in conflict. This conflict becomes a great source of interest and is an important means of moral growth to the pupil. These stories are clearly both literary and historical. In the fourth or fifth grade the real historical person appears. By their own observations of man in his local surroundings and by the study just described the pupils are prepared for this man of flesh and blood. The aim of this book has been to bring before the mind of the pupils a series of great historical characters. These men do interesting things from the beginning to the end of life. Because their deeds are con crete and physical they are easily pictured in imagination. To this end the author has endeavored to make the language used simple, vivid, and picturesque. Nothing should stand in the way of the imagination. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Socializing the Child written by Sarah A. Dynes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socializing the Child: A Guide to the Teaching of History in the Primary Grades A marked characteristic of the new century in all progressive nations is the quickened interest in the child and his education. Owing to this deepened interest in both the nature and the nurture of the child, professional educators are beginning to look more earnestly to history, sociology, psychology, and ethics for guidance and help in their work. This book treats certain aspects of social education in primary grades with the greatest possible simplicity. Especial emphasis is placed upon ways and means of enlarging the child's experience so as to favor the development of the historic sense. The various solutions of the problems of procuring shelter, food, clothing; of hearing burdens, of traveling; of exchanging goods and of celebrating holidays, make an excellent background for later work in history. Because each of the various countries selected by the author for instruction in primary grades solves these problems in its own characteristic way the contrasts arc conspicuous, and serve as a stimulus to both observation and further curiosity concerning human institutions and discoveries. Because each school is a center of community life, each pupil can he trained into responsible membership in that community. He can be saturated with the spirit of service and provided with the instruments of effective self-direction suited to his stage of development. The problems there solved reflect the life of the larger society of which the school is a part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fifty Famous Stories Retold written by James Baldwin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wonderful to be read together aloud, or as a component of a living books home school. These short and quickly read stories are a great introduction to classic literature. A joy to read to early readers, and an excellent tool for first to third graders to read on their own. Either way, children will delight in these short retellings of literary classics. From Bruce and the Spider to The Sword of Damocles, Julius Caesar to George Washington and his Hatchet, the stories found here will resonate throughout a lifetime. Although intended for children, adults will enjoy reading these stories aloud, and may even find it a great way to refresh their memories. Most of the fifty stories contained in this volume are the half-legendary tales of romantic episodes in the lives of well known heroes or famous men or in the history of a people. Some have historical value, some are useful in that they point to greater moral truths, still others are intended only to amuse. Some have been derived from ancient sources, and some have come through the ballads and folks tales of the English speaking peoples. Nearly all are the subjects of frequent allusions in poetry and prose and in the conversation of educated people. The author has carefully excluded everything that is not strictly within the limits of probability that this volume does not trespass upon the domain of the fairy tale, fable or myth. Children naturally take a deep interest in such stories. The reading of them will give not only pleasure, but will help to lay the foundation for broader literary studies. This collection is intended as a supplemental reader in the middle primary grades, and as an valuable source of interest for all ages both in and out school.

Download or read book Primary History of the United States written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primary History of the United States This little book contains the important events in our country's history, related in a clear and interesting way. The language, while accurate, is so simple that it can be understood by any child; in fact, the publishers confidently believe that not a single "big word" is to be found from the first to the last lesson. The story is told in narrative style in preference to the catechetical, as the one readily impresses the facts on the pupil's mind, while the other is valueless when questions and answers are separated. To refresh the children's memory and to test their knowledge, Review Lessons are given at the end of certain periods. Questions on the matter treated on the page are at the foot of each page; this arrangement, it is believed, will prove of great convenience, as it saves the annoyance of reference to other parts of the book.

Download or read book FIFTY FAMOUS STORIES RETOLD written by JAMES BALDWIN and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are numerous time-honored stories which have become so incorporated into the literature and thought of our race that a knowledge of them is an indispensable part of one's education. These stories are of several different classes. To one class belong the popular fairy tales which have delighted untold generations of children, and will continue to delight them to the end of time. To another class belong the limited number of fables that have come down to us through many channels from hoar antiquity. To a third belong the charming stories of olden times that are derived from the literatures of ancient peoples, such as the Greeks and the Hebrews. A fourth class includes the half-legendary tales of a distinctly later origin, which have for their subjects certain romantic episodes in the lives of well-known heroes and famous men, or in the history of a people. It is to this last class that most of the fifty stories contained in the present volume belong. As a matter of course, some of these stories are better known, and therefore more famous, than others. Some have a slight historical value; some are useful as giving point to certain great moral truths; others are products solely of the fancy, and are intended only to amuse. Some are derived from very ancient sources, and are current in the literature of many lands; some have come to us through the ballads and folk tales of the English people; a few are of quite recent origin; nearly all are the subjects of frequent allusions in poetry and prose and in the conversation of educated people. Care has been taken to exclude everything that is not strictly within the limits of probability; hence there is here no trespassing upon the domain of the fairy tale, the fable, or the myth. That children naturally take a deep interest in such stories, no person can deny; that the reading of them will not only give pleasure, but will help to lay the foundation for broader literary studies, can scarcely be doubted. It is believed, therefore, that the present collection will be found to possess an educative value which will commend it as a supplementary reader in the middle primary grades at school. It is also hoped that the book will prove so attractive that it will be in demand out of school as well as in. Acknowledgments are due to Mrs. Charles A. Lane, by whom eight or ten of the stories were suggested.

Download or read book Gabriel and the Hour Book written by Evaleen Stein and published by Yesterdays Classics. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relates the story of the making of an "hour book" as a wedding gift from King Louis of France to Lady Anne of Brittany and the good fortune it brought to little Gabriel, Brother Stephen's color grinder. Inspired by the bunch of violets and cuckoo-buds Gabriel brings into the workroom, Brother Stephen conceives a new idea for an illuminated border. Instead of painting the border with scrolls and birds and flowers in the conventional way, he would decorate the book with borders of gold on which he would paint in realistic fashion the meadow wildflowers, and bees and butterflies, and all the little flying creatures. As Brother Stephen's color grinder, Gabriel makes the ink, grinds the gold, gathers the flowers, and prepares the colors for him. After the book is completed, Gabriel slips into the book a sheet on which he has penned a prayer to Lady Anne: "I, Gabriel Viaud, am Brother Stephen's colour-grinder; and I have made the ink for this book, and the glue, and caught the eels, and ground the gold and colours, and ruled the lines and gathered the flowers for the borders, and so I pray the Lord God will be kind and let my father out of prison in Count Pierre's castle, and tell Count Pierre to give us back our meadow and sheep, for we cannot pay the tax, and mother says we will starve." How his prayer is answered unfolds in the ensuing chapters. Evaleen Stein brings the medieval world to life for younger students through her stories set in the Middle Ages. A century ago when this book was first published, a reviewer in the Louisville Daily Courier wrote, "No works in juvenile fiction contain so many of the elements that stir the hearts of children and grown-ups as well as do the stories so admirably told by this author."

Download or read book Comic Books and American Cultural History written by Matthew Pustz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comic Books and American Cultural History is an anthology that examines the ways in which comic books can be used to understand the history of the United States. Over the last twenty years, there has been a proliferation of book-length works focusing on the history of comic books, but few have investigated how comics can be used as sources for doing American cultural history. These original essays illustrate ways in which comic books can be used as resources for scholars and teachers. Part 1 of the book examines comics and graphic novels that demonstrate the techniques of cultural history; the essays in Part 2 use comics and graphic novels as cultural artifacts; the third part of the book studies the concept of historical identity through the 20th century; and the final section focuses on different treatments of contemporary American history. Discussing topics that range from romance comics and Superman to American Flagg! and Ex Machina, this is a vivid collection that will be useful to anyone studying comic books or teaching American history.
