Everyday Life the Frontier
By Sourcebooks
Here's the story of how people lived in frontier America, told in a vivid anecdotal narrative that kids can read and enjoy on their own. Readers will: appreciate the dangers and hardships on the frontier; enter a frontier home and see what foods they ate and what kinds of clothes they wore; learn about occupations, justice, medical treatments, and frontier schools; find out what people did for fun and amusement on the frontier; gain a better understanding of the relationship between settlers and the Native Americans; enjoy authentic photographs and historic illustrations; and work challenging puzzles and participate in interesting activities that use skills from a variety of subject areas. Each of the eleven chapters is followed by four reproducible, perforated activity pages for math, vocabulary, critical thinking, reading comprehension, geography, writing, and cooking. Grades 4-6.
