Abstract
The amount of material a social studies teacher is expected to cover in a year can be overwhelming. Yet, when a search for picture books to support a unit on the 1930s in America was conducted, no comprehensive list was found. Therefore, the purpose of this research project was to create an annotated bibliography of high quality picture books aligned to the National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies that would improve the teaching of a unit on the decade. After examining the picture books, gaps in the topics covered were identified, and vetted websites were selected to supplement coverage of those gap areas. Along with the annotated bibliography that can help teachers know what resources are available, an interactive Thinglink was created that includes summaries of the books, links to the websites, and short videos to introduce the topics in order to provide choice for students who would like to guide their own inquiry.
