Profiles of Integrity Volume 2 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What is boldness? How does someone show initiative? What does it mean to be wise, tolerant, or sensitive? When it comes to understanding and developing character traits, biographical stories are a powerful tool.  

Powerful not only because they so effectively illustrate virtues but also because your young reader doesn't feel preached at.  The 10 stories in Profiles of Integrity Vol. 2 are engrossing!  

• Instead of being told, "You should be truthful," they will read about Sacagawea who accurately translated and reported facts during the Corps of Discovery expedition, even leading them through the Rocky Mountains on their return journey. 
• Instead of hearing that gentleness is an attractive virtue, they get consumed with the story of President Abraham Lincoln who showed compassion to a young, dying Confederate soldier, comforting him and praying with him despite their opposing sides.
• Instead of being admonished to be more orderly, they see how Colonel Charles Marshall's meticulous record-keeping ensured that the surrender terms at Appomattox Court House were accurately drafted, playing a vital role in officially ending the Civil War. 

Packed with adventure, danger, and real historical drama, these books keep your students turning pages as they devour tales of daring raids, clever ingenuity, sacrificial love, and harrowing battles.
