The pictures, newspaper ads, city ordinances, eye-witness reports, rhythmic patterns, and song lyrics enable readers to research, compare, and think critically concerning the information presented. This process develops a deeper working out of the folks and events that shaped the history of New Orleans s Congo Square. This book supports standards and benchmarks in social studies and language arts, and it invites discussions, cross curriculum instruction, and extended learning opportunities.
