An
Arkansas History for Young People
Fourth Edition
Shay E. Hopper, T. Harri Baker, and Jane Browning
Adopted by the State of Arkansas for
2008
Once again, the State of Arkansas has adopted An Arkansas
History for Young People as an official textbook for
middle-level and/or junior-high-school Arkansas-history classes.
This fourth edition incorporates new research done after extensive
consultations with middle-level and junior-high teachers from
across the state, curriculum coordinators, literacy coaches,
university professors, and students themselves. It includes
a multitude of new features and is now full color throughout.
This edition has been completely redesigned and now features
a modern format and new graphics suitable for many levels
of student readers.
The completely revised fourth edition includes new unit, chapter,
and section divisions as well as five brand-new chapters:
an introductory chapter with information on the symbols, flag,
and songs of Arkansas; chapter 2, which covers the geography
of Arkansas; chapter 3, on state and local government; chapter
four, on economics and tourism; and a “modern”
chapter on the Arkansas of today and the future, which completes
the learning adventure. This edition also has two “special
features”: one on the Central High School crisis of
1957 and another on the William J. Clinton Presidential Library.
It also has new and interesting features for students like
the “Guide to Reading” (at the beginning of each
chapter, there is a list of important terms, people, places
and events for the student to keep in mind as he or she reads
[corresponding to blue vocabulary words in the text, which
are define in the margin]), “County Quest,” “I
Am an Arkansan,” “Did You Know?” “Only
in Arkansas,” “A Day in the Life,” “Chapter
Reflection” questions and activities, over forty-five
new content maps, and a comprehensive new map atlas.
Shay E. Hopper is an eighth-grade Arkansas
history and journalism teacher and a ninth-grade yearbook
sponsor at Woodland Junior High School in Fayetteville.
T. Harri Baker was professor emeritus of
history at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Jane Browning is the executive director of
the International Community Corrections Association in Washington,
D.C.
