The clear structure ensures ease of use. "Time for History" is divided into several units. Each unit begins with an introductory double page that presents the topic through images. The following introductory double page facilitates access to the unit with an important event or an interesting problem. At the end of this double page, students learn what they will encounter and practice on the following pages. In the individual chapters of the units, the author texts are organized with subheadings. The carefully selected images, maps, and text sources support the learning process.
