Teaching Resources for Your Classroom

Colonial Williamsburg offers a variety of quality materials to assist you in teaching American history and civics, including:

AMERICA: THE POCKET GUIDE
Paperback Handbook

This tiny guide introduces you to a very big idea: no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe, you are American if you believe in the idea of America. At the heart of America is a great debate over our shared democratic values: law and ethics, freedom and equality, diversity and unity, common wealth and private wealth. These values are all equally important but constantly in tension. America: The Pocket Guide describes these values and shows how the tensions between them have shaped and continue to shape our history.

$1.95. To order, call 1-800-761-8331, email eftsupport@cwf.org, or visit the Williamsburg Marketplace.
