Description
Excerpt from History and Civics: Grade 5b, Fifth Year Second Half
This book like its 5A companion aims to cover one term's work in history and civics. It combines also the same advantages, viz.: -
(а) Economy of time and definiteness. Economy of time is secured by the arrangement in lessons, with due regard for the amount of time at the teacher's disposal, and the ability of the average pupil. Definiteness is obtained by the side notes, which help the pupil to get the thought, and by the summaries and questions at the end of each lesson which call the pupil's attention to what is essential in the lesson learned.
(b) Substitute teachers taking the place of absent teachers may continue the teaching of history from the point where the regular teacher left off. They may make definite progress and hand the class back to the teacher up to grade in this subject.
(c) Maps and illustrations have been inserted profusely, for history cannot be studied properly without a clear knowledge of the place setting of events. The teacher should supplement these maps as far as possible by the use of wall maps and by appropriate pictures culled from newspapers and magazines. Pupils will be glad to help in this, and it is a good way to stimulate their interest in the subject.
The nature of the subject matter in this grade makes it impossible to use the biographical method entirely, yet it has been used whenever possible. This is as it should be; for to weave the narratives of men's lives into a history gives it living interest. It is a method that points out the virtues of good men for emulation, and teaches that the ways of the wicked and worthless often lead to failure and destruction.
