I really enjoyed hearing about all of the books on Wednesday, November 17. There are so many great trade books for teachers to incorporate into their history curriculum for all ages. I think it is important for teachers to incorporate historical trade books because it allows the students to make a connection to the people and the time they are reading about. When students just read from their social studies books they can become detached from the information, and many times they do not understand the significance or importance of the events in history. Reading a book that is about a child that is roughly the same age as them helps students relate and understand the history better. I will definitely be using historical trade books in my future classrooms.
