The 102-page workbook for students, according to cover for the 5th and 6 Class of special education designed. Structure and contents suggest that it this is the funding priority learning, so of course, except half of this support area can be used whenever learning difficulties of students require special materials tailored to their requirements.
The theoretical introduction is brief. It is important to note that the book is indeed quite independent of children you can edit the theme but only by "a mixture of input from the teacher in the classroom as well as individual, partner or group work" (4) can be made truly responsive. A rather obvious statement, but that may be written as long as legitimate as long as there are teachers who are planning instruction based solely on textbooks.
The workbook is divided thematically into four parts:
- Paleolithic
- Middle and New Stone Age
- be comparing the two periods
- additional materials
Usually initiated each thematic units of short information texts. This is followed by tasks, repeat in which the students the content or bring in new contexts. However, there are not only written tasks. The title of the book justice to have an action-oriented nature of some tasks, such as "cave painting with earth tones" (39), producing a stone-bread "(60) or" weaving a piece of fabric (68). These types of tasks, however, are clearly in the minority.
The difficulty of writing tasks is very different. So there are comparatively easy assignment exercises, word puzzles and cloze. There are also rather heavy exercises such assignments on the timeline. Taking into account the potential learning difficulties the target group should be those tasks that require the knowledge and the handling of very large numbers (3,000,000 BC) represent an enormous challenge for many students. The technical side of Infortexte are usually correct. There are some claims that are not historical scientific evidence really, for example in the chapter "Life as hunters and gatherers." It says:.
"Although the hunt was very dangerous, and children were there They were also allowed to participate, although not yet in the hunt, but they should learn in that kind of adults the craft thoroughly to later as good a hunter to be. " (32)It very at least questionable whether this concrete knowledge of the Old Stone Age really are.
summary, however, is positive that the book is explained very specific target groups: The font size is large, the pages are not overloaded with images and text. Linguistically, the lyrics are simple and appealing. The sentences are not too long, the information is not too confusing. In addition, a successful mix of the cognitive and motor tasks appealing four corners of playful exercises. Thus, it can sum up by saying that "The stone age" by Marisa Herzog really one of the very few - perhaps even so far the only - is textbooks that are in the context "Historical learning and special educational needs " can easily be incorporated.
