Good Textbook

This book is uncommon for the textbooks I have found. The chapters are all roughly 20 pages long. They do not waste time on a lot of filler and excellent lesson examples can be found.

Kudos to Savage and Armstrong

The authors have written a book that is extremely practical. As a student in a methods class, I was able to use the ideas in the classroom where I was placed. My master teacher was impressed with what I had to offer and purchased a copy of the book for himself. I appreciate the blend of theory and practice the book offers. Practical applications are important, but without the theoretical perspectives they mean nothing. This book gives us both. I recommend it to new teachers especially. It was obviously written by people who have spent time in classrooms and who really know social studies.
