In Social Studies Excursions, K-3, authors Janet Alleman and Jere Brophy offer a teacher's resource containing units intended to supplement primary-grade social studies textbooks.
Each book in the three-volume series provides units structured around ideas, developed in depth with applications to life, that will help teachers impart knowledge about the cultural universals unfamiliar to students - and guide students in applying this knowledge to their lives outside of school.
Book Two, for example, contains units on communication, transportation and family living. The 324-page paperback includes sections on decision-making and features 27 reproducible pages. The cost is $27.50.
