ABC-CLIO Schools' subscription databases are where Web-based researching,
teaching and learning come of age.
The ABC-CLIO Schools' series of interactive subscription databases
challenge students to evaluate historical evidence, interpret current
events, and make comparative analyses. The eight databases—American
Government, American History, State Geography, World Geography, World
History: Ancient and Medieval Eras, World History: The Modern Era, United
States at War: Understanding Conflict and Society, and Issues:
Understanding Controversy and Society—open with breaking news, feature
stories and engaging daily activities. Students can search by text,
reference category, period or region, depending on their abilities,
learning styles and assignments. They can also access subject-specific
lessons and activities by time period, place or concept.
The depth and breadth of this award-winning series are astounding.
Students can listen to an audio clip from Maya Angelou, analyze the Magna
Carta, compare demographic data between China and Mexico or quiz
themselves on the causes of the Civil War. New content is added regularly,
and it is all correlated to state and national standards, key assessments
and major textbooks. Individualized, interdisciplinary, easy-to-use and
complete. You can't afford not to subscribe!
