Dr. Jeremiah Clabough and Dr. Caroline Sheffield recently concluded a year-long research process that used some social studies trade books from the Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People list to help young students make thematic connections to civil rights issues during the century after the U.S. Civil War.
To help get an understanding of this project as well as offer methods for incorporating this work into your classroom, we interviewed Dr. Clabough and Dr. Sheffeld and asked them to discuss some of the outcomes of the work.
Become a Notable Social Studies Trade Book Reviewer
The Notable Social Studies Trade Book List contains books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, have a pleasing format, and, where appropriate, include illustrations that enrich the text. These books can have a profound impact on students of all ages.
NCSS is looking for individuals to join the Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Committee. The committee consists of 15 members who review, evaluate, and select social studies trade books for our annual bibliography "Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People." Learn the requirements and apply by April 15, 2022.
