My Project

Steve Sheinkin, a renowned author of non-fiction books for young adults, has made significant contributions to the world of literature and education. His captivating narratives delve into historical events, making them accessible and engaging for students. Incorporating Sheinkin's works into our curriculum will enrich learning experiences, foster critical thinking skills, and ignite a passion for history and literature.

Incorporating Sheinkin's books into our curriculum will provide an excellent opportunity to develop critical thinking and analytical skills.

His narratives often present multiple perspectives, encouraging students to evaluate different viewpoints and draw their own conclusions. .

Furthermore, Sheinkin's books are rich in primary sources and historical evidence, allowing students to practice essential skills such as sourcing, corroboration, and contextualization. By examining primary documents and considering the reliability of various sources, students develop a deeper understanding of historical events and learn to think critically about the past.
