Throughout history, people have often expressed controversial and
conflicting interpretations of current events. In this unique
resource, Joan Brodsky Schur reveals how compelling and engaging
the study of history becomes when students use documents to imagine
living through events in American history.
"Eyewitness to the Past" examines six types of primary sources:
diaries, travelogues, letters, news articles, speeches, and
scrapbooks. Teachers will find interactive strategies to help
students analyze the unique properties of each, and apply to them
their own written work and oral argument. Students learn to express
opposing viewpoints in documents, classroom interactions, and
simulations such as staging congressional hearings, elections, or
protests. They build crucial analytical thinking and presentation
skills. Used together, the six strategies offer a varied and
cohesive structure for studying the American past that reinforces
material in the textbook, encourages creativity, activates
different learning styles, and strengthens cognitive skills.
Each chapter provides detailed instructions for implementing an
eyewitness strategy set in a specific era of American history, and
includes extensions for adapting the strategy to other time
periods. In addition to the primary sources included in the book,
examples of student work are presented throughout to aid teachers
in evaluating the work of their own students. Rubrics and a list of
resources are offered for each eyewitness strategy.
