Book Reviews of Kirsten 1854: Teacher's Guide to Six Books About Pioneer America for Boys and Girls (American Girls Collection)
Book Review: Overpriced because of collectability
Summary: 3 Stars
My opinion on these guides- If you want these for educational purposes and pay more than $30 you have paid too much. There's NOT $30 of teaching material in one (some would even say there is less than that)
Not to bash the book completely, but I've seen used American Girl Teachers Guides go for $120; for just one guide!
If these were commonly priced under $30 used I would give it more stars.
Each contains (if mint):
An Overview section (8-10 pages, this section is too short!)- book summaries of the six main books for the subject, a short description of the history of the era. A few paragraphs about the author. a section about historical fiction, short directions on how to use the map, tips for introducing vocabulary, and blackline masters for the map.
Meet "insert girl's name" section- The longest section. Contains plot summaries and Themes for each main book, vocabulary words (only 8-10 per book), and only 4-5 pages of uninteresting worksheets for each book.
Then the last section contains project ideas (roughly 5 per guide). Only a few of which are really interesting and imaginative.
Am I missing something here? Unless your a collector there is no reason to pay over $30 for one of these books.
An inventive educator can come up with a more interesting set of projects and worksheets for far less than $120 per American Girl.
