Read Kansas! Primary - P-14 Games Children Play: Then and Now
This second grade lesson reinforces the concept of then (past) and now (present). Students read an expository text and find verifiable evidence from the past of games and toys that were used by children more than 100 years ago. To find the evidence, the students use primary sources, both historic photographs and diary entries. The students use this evidence and personal experiences from their own lives to write an original essay. This lesson can be done in one day.
