Críticas:

"...this new volume in the History Connections Series meets the goals of the series: to guide teachers in integrating current world events into the social studies curriculum. While some of the topics might be time-based, many can be used for years to come, making this a valuable investment in the future of the curriculum library resources for teachers. Providing substantive and compelling activities and resources to assist educators in guiding students to understanding relationships between the past and present, the work also encourages critical thinking skills. Topical overviews provide the necessary information for students to analyze primary sources included, such as laws, poems, speeches, images, and statistical data. . . . A valuable addition to any curriculum resource center for grades K-12, the lessons and resources can be selected and adapted for the particular audience." - ARBA
