The primary purpose of this book is to provide a convenient place for you to write down the birthdays of family and friends you want to remember from year to year, along with such information as their mailing addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and year of birth. Special events, such as anniversaries, could also be recorded. Each day of the year has its own, individual page. (This 404-page, 6" x 9" book is one to keep at home and not one you would want to carry around with you on a daily basis.) The bottom portion of each page (almost half) is left completely blank for ample space and flexibility for you to write in the needed information you want to remember. Besides space for birthday information about family and friends, for each day of the year the name of a notable, historical American with the same birthday is given in the top portion of each page, along with a corresponding, black-and-white image (if available) and quote(s) from that person. In general, the quotes chosen are primarily positive, motivational, and/or thought provoking. The notables included feature a variety of occupations. You will notice that some important, notable, historical Americans are not included, and many times this is due to some notables having the same birthday. For example, all U. S. presidents are included, and they often take the place of other notables that otherwise would have been included, e.g., Stephen A. Douglas. The exact birthdays of some notables are not known, and, therefore, those notables are not included, for example, Frederick Douglass. All notables included are deceased, except for a very few, such as a few Presidents and Supreme Court Justices. Some other potential notables, such as athletes and entertainers are not included. Of course (!), there will be differences of opinion as to the choice of "Notables," so spaces are provided for each day for you to write in the birthdays yourself from your own sources of those persons you consider to be Notables. Just as Tip O'Neill, Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, said "You can't tell a story in a sound bite," you can't really know a notable by the short quotes given in this book. So, you are strongly encouraged to learn more about the historical notables listed throughout this book by looking them up on the Internet. Some of the notables and quotes may be controversial. So, you may agree with some quotes, while you may disagree with others. However, the quotes do come from men and women who have had some part in shaping our society, and the ideas presented may stimulate some reactions, additional thoughts, and even actions. An Index of the Names of Notables with their dates of birth is provided at the back of the book. The standard, "perfect bound," paperback version of this book is available through Amazon, while the spiral bound, paperback version is not.

This book provides teachers, librarians, and education methods professors with strategies, lesson plans, and activities that enable them to use literature as a springboard to social studies thematic instruction. With the amount of time and resources allocated to teaching social studies being significantly reduced, social studies lessons need to be incorporated into other subjects. Notable Books, Notable Lessons: Putting Social Studies Back in the K–8 Curriculum offers the tools to teach students social studies concepts that are increasingly relevant and essential in today's diverse, globalized world—lessons that are vital in order to prepare students to think critically and participate in our multicultural democracy. Providing information that elementary and middle school teachers and librarians, district-level curriculum directors and principals, staff developers, and social studies and literacy methods professors will find extremely useful, this book uses the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS)/Children's Book Council (CBC)'s current and past lists of Notable Books at the elementary and middle school levels to offer easy-to-follow lesson plans that integrate social studies instruction with reading and language arts. The lesson plans pose compelling questions to facilitate discussion and critical thinking and suggest engaging activities that are connected to the social studies concepts. The book also includes sample student handouts for the selected pieces of literature.
