Economics And Geography Lessons Grandma Essies Covered Wagon

Patricia King Robeson and Barbara Yingling developed a resource entitled "Economics and Geography Lessons for 32 Children's Books." As part of this resource, Robeson created a lesson for 5th grade classes based on "Grandma Essie's Covered Wagon." This is an oral history by American author David Williams (1953- ) about the travels of his grandmother as a child through Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Robeson lists the materials needed and highlights the lesson outcomes, objectives, and activities. Montgomery County Public Schools in Rockville, Maryland, provides this resource online.
