United States History Part II-III  2006-2007


*  Materials

I created a textbook with elements from several sources. I used printed textbooks, workbooks, cut out pictures from old textbooks, printed materials from the Internet, as well as videos from the Captioned Media Program and the library. I put the materials into a three ring binder with dividers for the sections. If I wanted Eric to look at a video or an illustration in another text, I would type up these instructions and imbed them into the text.
