Textbooks aren't all you'll find 



in Dorothy Dobson's fourth grade social studies class. 



There's also a well-chosen 



collection of historical novels and all 



the space her young students need to 



bring history to life. 



For Dorothy, "memorizing a lot of dates" isn't what's important. Instead, her students read 



novels that relate to the period of history they're studying. After that, anything can happen. From 



staged reenactments of important chapters to creating room-length murals that depict historic 



times and places. In short, any activity that helps them "experience" histQry. 



For her creative approach to teaching social studies, 

 State Farm is honored to present Dorothy with our i^^ =c ' 

 Good Neighbor Award, along w 

 contribution of $5,000 in her name 

 Edith Bowen School on the campus 

 of Utah State University.
