Textbook Supplements

These HistoryLink.org Textbook Supplements identify specific themes and topics that are currently being covered in required elementary and middle school Washington State History classes, using the most commonly used textbooks for 2011-2012:  Washington: Our Home (for 4th grade) and Washington: A State of Contrasts (7th and 8th grade). A supplement for each textbook has been designed to align important historical facts, events, themes, or persons addressed in these textbooks with selected complementary HistoryLink.org essays.  

These new textbook supplements follow the textbooks page-by-page and identify essays that can provide relevant details to expand or augment classroom discussion or activities for topics being covered in that section of each chapter. Each textbook document lists the name of appropriate essays, their abstracts and essay numbers, and links to the full essays.
