Identical to I do with my weekly e-newsletter, C-SPAN Classroom sends their weekly e-newsletter on Sunday evenings (Jap Time). Once I learn it final night time I discovered a few new C-SPAN collection that sounds nice! It is known as Books That Formed America and it’s introduced by C-SPAN at the side of the Library of Congress.

Books That Formed America is a ten-part weekly collection that’s starting on September 18th. Every episode will function considered one of ten books from American historical past which have formed and impacted American society. The episodes will embrace commentary and evaluation from consultants on every e book.

Thomas Paine’s Frequent Sense is the primary e book that might be featured within the collection. The Federalist Papers might be featured within the second episode. A few different works to be featured within the collection are Their Eyes Had been Watching God and Narrative of the Lifetime of Frederick Douglass. 

Every episode of Books That Formed America will air at 9pm ET and be out there on-demand on C-SPAN.org afterward. There are lesson supplies deliberate for launch to accompany the collection though these supplies are usually not but revealed. 

On a associated notice, many of the books within the collection can be found to search out and browse at no cost on Google Books and or at your native library. Full copies of The Federalist Papers can be found to learn at no cost proper right here on the Avalon Venture.
