Social Studies

The Social Studies Section of CRDG features three excellent history texts: A History of Hawai`i, China: Understanding Its Past, and The Rise of Modern Japan.

 

These innovative materials

 

  • are written especially for high school students.
  • are activity-centered to foster critical thinking.
  • utilize primary documents, cartoons, stories, poems, charts, timelines, etc., to stimulate student interest.
  • are complemented by resources such as teachers' manuals, CDs, and professional development institutes (China and Japan).
