About the author
Richard Di Giacomo graduated from San Jose State University with a B.A.
in Ancient and Medieval history, a B.A. in Social Science and an M.A. in
American History. He has been a teacher for over 20 years and has
taught in a variety of schools from private and continuation schools to
public high schools. He has taught everything from at risk and limited
English students to honors and college preparatory classes. The
subjects he has taught include U.S. and World History, Government,
Economics, Bible and Ethics, History of the Cold War, and Contemporary
World History.
He has been a reviewer and contributor to textbooks,
and a frequent presenter at social studies conferences on the use of
simulations, videos, and computers in education. Rich's love for
role-playing and strategy games led him to develop his role-playing
simulations. He has also written books on renaissance explorers,
California Indians, history movies, humor, and ELL instruction.
Teachers enjoy his books because they are written by a teacher for other
teachers. Students like the activities contained in them because they
are interesting, challenging, fun, and very different from traditional
instructional methods.
