Here are links to the Richmond books on the topic (but don’t know if they might be very Spain specific)

Hi, Alex. I realize that you offered to procure this “Essential History” in exchange for a review almost exactly one year ago, but if no one’s taken you up on it, yet, I’d be happy to oblige.

Anyone can write a review, honest. Will give you lots of help, and you’d get a copy for free…

I have been trying to get a copy of Essential History published by Richmond. I have e-mailed their divisions in Spain, UK, and FLorida, but none of them e-mailed me back. Alex, do you know some other ways I could get a copy? I am not that good at writing reviews :). Thanks!

Just noticed that Richmond has released a CLIL history book for secondary students called Essential History. Haven’t seen it, but can get someone a freebie copy if they will write me a review

Fraid not, had a good look but nothing. Would’ve saved me a lot of trouble if there had been one…

Kudos, Alex! Do you know a World History textbook that is ESL friendly?

Just randomly found Larry Ferlazzo’s page of history links:

(yes, I know it says geography, but half of them are US history)

Great work Alex. For me this is the future of our profession and students can handle this if they choose to do so. One of the aspects of CLIL I like mosty is that there is no ‘easy’ or ‘difficult’ language to be learned, just different ways of using language to say what you need to say to complete a piece of work.
