Long Ago and Today

Artifacts are a powerful tool for teaching social studies. The Long Ago and Today series uses photographic artifacts to help primary readers explore life and lifestyles by comparing today's world with that of a hundred years ago. Each book offers a series of old photographs, which are paired with a similar photo taken today -- perhaps a picture of a city as it looked in 1897 and as it looks on that same spot in 1998. Through these engaging photographs, primary learners investigate such basic topics as working, playing, sleeping, cooking, and doing household chores.Roop, Peter is the author of 'Long Ago and Today', published 1999 under ISBN 9781575726045 and ISBN 1575726041.
