Review of The American History Teacher's Book of Lists by Fay R. Hansen:
This 500+ page book is a must for anyone teaching American history.
You'll find copies of many primary sources such as the Mayflower
Compact, Bill of Rights, and Articles of Confederation; profiles of
major people in history and government; timelines of events; and facts
related to economics, politics, health, crime, and public education.
Also included are listings of American authors, musicians, historians,
craftspeople, and much, much more.
Keep it on your desk and you'll have a handy reference guide that can
be used for lesson planning or to make quizzes, handouts, unit studies,
and vocabulary lists. For example, if you are doing a study on World
War II, there is a list of major battles, major weapons used, military
casualties, military leaders, which countries participated in the war,
major events, and America's relative economic position. There is also a
copy of the Atlantic Charter of 1941, FDR's Address to the Nation, and
a chronology of the development of the atomic bomb. More than enough to
help you teach this topic and provide handouts to your students.
