Tunnell, Michael O.; Ammon, Richard
Social Education, v60 n4 p212-15 Apr-May 1996
Criticizes most history textbooks for presenting a single perspective with few conflicting ideas. Characterizes literature-based instruction as a resource rich in multiple viewpoints that invites the reader to enter into moral discussions about historical events. Presents several examples of trade books illustrating specific historical periods with accompanying activities. (MJP)
