These books will be used to supplement and enrich the instructional program for students. Our textbooks provide general facts at best and lack the detail and complexity of past events and people. These books will introduce them to characters who have different points of view so they can see the difficulty in constructing history and learn history from multiple perspectives. These books and resources also can be used to support English Learners who struggle to access the content and need help with language development. They may also be used as engaging unit openers. Help me develop a classroom library that gives current students and hundreds of students in the future, options to choose a book they want to read and an alternative way to access content. While the books I am requesting may not be enough to reach all the instructional goals that I have for them, it's an important start. For now, I am unable to ask students to do historical research using our library because there are only outdated and few books that support English Learners and connect with my curriculum.
