What Teachers Are Saying
Choices is an invaluable tool for students of history as it provides rich contextualized content, offers diverse perspectives, and builds rhetoric skill capacity.— Brett, History Teacher, New Hampshire
Choices provides high-quality summaries and primary source documents. It puts students in the shoes of the decision makers. I really like how students are asked to rank their attitudes and priorities about a topic before and after studying the unit. It's rewarding to reflect on how new information challenges our assumptions and previous beliefs.— Michael, World Issues and History Teacher, Ohio
I love the options that students can have in the role plays. History becomes active, and it also becomes clear that history was not guaranteed. Choices does a fantastic job of making students active participants.— Ryan, History and Current Issues Teacher, Colorado
The visuals that accompany the readings are terrific. Too often, students don't bother to look up places on a map or watch an assigned video. Having these integrated into the assignment for them makes it easy and more likely that they'll take advantage of these resources. The primary source sets allow for deeper and richer work with the material.— Tracy, History Teacher, Massachusetts
