39 Days from Cincinnati to Philadelphia
An Ohio Miller's 1838 Journal
39 Days from Cincinnati to Philadelphia by Tracy Lawson is a first-person narrative that covers a two-month journey across five states. Henry Rogers, his wife, and her parents traveled from Cincinatti, OH, to Philadelpha, PA, then on to Trenton, NJ, in the summer and fall of 1838. Henry's daily journal entries vividly decribe his changing surroundings, and his observations about politics, commerce, agriculture, tourist attractions, new technology, and the natural landscape through which he was traveling.
Tracy Lawson and her eight-year-old daughter drove the same route 165 years later following the same path traveled by her great-great-great grandfather. Using a camera and daily journal to document their own experiences, they compared their visit and observations with those of Henry.
To be released Winter 2011-2012._______________________________________________________________________________________________

NEW Category! TEACHER RESOURCES
STEPS
Standard Themes for Educational Progress TM
STEPS. Dr. David A. Silverberg created a series of easy-to-use manuals which make the process of adapting state Standards to teachers' instructional methods quick and easy. STEPS are Standards-based manuals that have reorganized learning objectives into teacher-friendly themes and presentation. The themes are vertically alligned to display the progression of content and skill mastery through a child's entire K-12 school career. The new manuals--using the recently released national Standards--include Common Core Mathematics and Common Core Reading & Writing Across the Curriculum. State Standards, also recently released, have been used to create new manuals in Science and Social Studies for those states which have adopted the national Standards.
Release date: ongoing for various titles.
