"History from Medieval to Modern times for 7 -14 year olds
Up-to-date, exciting, differentiated and flexible, it offers outstanding support for teachers and students. Mainstream edition texts are written at a level suitable for 11-14 year olds. Foundation edition texts are written at a level appropriate for 7-11 year olds. The topics, layout, and illustrations are the same for both editions - the text and activities are different. Using both books in the same class is great news in a mixed ability setting. The Homework and Extension Packs contain photocopiable self-supporting worksheets and homework activities at both levels - students can use the activity sheets without having the texts at hand. The Black Peoples of America - Ideal as a resource for
Black History Month and for discovering about the history of Black People in the New World.
