Chapter 12

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Sadle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008.
History! BLAH! That is how i felt about learning history and having to read history textbooks. I was that kid that was not interested in it at all . I would learn it for a test and then immediatly forget it. After all that, i do regret it because now i am not the greatest person to have a conversation with when it comes to history! But, having read this chapter i do see why learning our history is important! I feel like at the earlier ages it would be helpful if i could find fun books that have to do with our history but present it in a way that is not boring to read and that the kids enjoy. At least that way they will be able to start to learn their history but won't despise it like i did!
