History Books Needed!

Help me give my students history books for a class library and research project.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Thomas's classroom raised $173

This project is fully funded

My Project

Most of my students have come from middle school having written book reports, but few have ever written a book review. It is sometimes difficult for students to find a history book about a subject in which they are interested. Sometimes it is difficult for some students to afford a book to review. It is my wish to have a selection of books for students to choose from for a review project. The books selected for this book review project cover ancient civilizations, the Holocaust, and some contemporary African issues.
