Comments on: On the Politics of Resentment http://www.thomaspaineblog.org/2008/09/19/on-the-politics-of-resentment/ The First American Blogger l His Words in Today's Context Thu, 21 Oct 2010 21:43:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mark Wilensky http://www.thomaspaineblog.org/2008/09/19/on-the-politics-of-resentment/#comment-310 Mark Wilensky Sat, 20 Sep 2008 04:06:03 +0000 http://www.thomaspaineblog.org/2008/09/19/on-the-politics-of-resentment/#comment-310 I would very much like to introduce you to a book constructed around Paine's "Common Sense" that is making its way into elementary, middle and high-schools nationwide in the U.S: The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine: An Interactive Adaptation for all Ages. I am a fifth-grade teacher in Colorado and I adapted Common Sense for readers 11 to adult. (What I consider to be one of the most important, and overlooked, founding documents in America.) The original version is also included. Also included are a dozen activities for school districts, teachers and homeschoolers. Everything can be accessed on the interactive website as well. Happily, I can say that many many schools have started integrating the book into their curriculum, so our citizens are starting to learn about Mr. Paine from the age of 10. Additionally, the book is also being used by some states to convince their legislatures to pass a Paine observation day. Please feel free to visit the book's website: www.NewCommonSenseBook.com My very best wishes, Mark I would very much like to introduce you to a book constructed around Paine’s “Common Sense” that is making its way into elementary, middle and high-schools nationwide in the U.S:
