What Was It Like?

Intended for teachers who want to engage their students with young adult literature. This book presents instructional units centered on historical conflicts and texts. It features an array of learning strategies, which place students close to the featured novel or memoir while meeting standards and addressing a range of critical thinking skills.

We owe Linda Rice a big thank you not only for the specific ideas she suggests but also for the reminder to all of us that for most young people, talking is fine, but the party does not really start until they get to do something.From the Foreword by Alleen Pace Nilsen, Director, English Education, Arizona State University
