Title: Book Effective in Middle School Classroom
Product review: I used Slaves Who Dared with a classroom of sixth grade students and found it to be most effective. The students were fascinated by direct quotes from people from that era as well the details of their misfortunes. The text captured their interest immediately. They remarked positively about the illustrations, photographs, captions, and sidebars with definitions and interesting details. Most important, though, they learned about historical figures previously unknown to them, and they demonstrated a desire to know more about the subjects presented in the book. This book would be an excellent introduction and springboard to a social studies unit on this period of history.
