This textbook is truly a valuable resource for teachers of gifted students. The activites allow the student to expand their knowledge on a variety of topics, (geography, government, science, history, etc) while using different modalities (five senses, technology, etc). These gifted students are being allowed to take their knowledge a 'step further' by answering the question, "what if," pretending, brainstorming and doing hands on activities/experiments. I was also impressed with the authors stress on using 21st-century skills (internet research, Power Point, etc.)to elaborate and research relevant topics. I would highly recommend this textbook to gifted teachers.
