Gr 3-6 This is one of the more unusual and useful series of the bunch. The books, which are filled with eye-catching graphics, take important historical documents and provide a nearly line-by-line translation that makes a song, speech, or the written word accessible and meaningful. Though the volumes will generally be perfect for newcomers to these topics, some students may be unaware of the context of the less-familiar pieces, such as the Gettysburg Address, and this information is found after the translation.
