By ABC-Clio Information Services

"The United States at War: 1944 "includes a booklet containing a teachers guide, a set of reproductions of original documents, a CD-ROM containing exercise worksheets and digital images of original documents, and a videocassette of motion pictures. Using reproductions of documents which include official correspondence, photographs, newspaper articles, films, and personal diaries, students practice the historian's skills as they complete eight exercises using these documents to gather information, identify points of view, evaluate evidence, form hypotheses, and draw conclusions. A ninth exercise suggests ways in which students can create an archival collection on World War II or other periods using school records. Other units comprising the "Teaching With Documents" series are: " The Constitution: Evolution of a Government The Bill of Rights: Evolution of Personal Liberties The United States Expands West: 1785-1842 Westward Expansion: 1842-1912 The Civil War: Soldiers and Civilians The Progressive Years: 1898-1917 World War I: The Home Front The 1920's The Great Depression and The New Deal World War II: The Home Front The Truman Years: 1945-1953 Peace and Prosperity: 1953-1961"
