Presenting U.S. history as contested interpretations of compelling
problems, this text offers a clear set of principles and
strategies, together with case studies and "Mystery Packets" of
documentary materials from key periods in American history, that
teachers can use with their students to promote and sustain
problem-finding and problem-solving in history and social studies
classrooms. Structured to encourage new attitudes toward history as
hands-on inquiry, conflicting interpretation, and myriad
uncertainties, the whole point is to create a user-friendly way of
teaching history "as it really is" - with all its problems, issues,
unknowns, and value clashes. Students and teachers are invited to
think anew as active participants in learning history rather than
as passive sponges soaking up pre-arranged and often misrepresented
people and events. New in the Second Edition: New chapters on
Moundbuilders, and the Origins of Slavery; expanded Gulf of Tonkin
chapter now covering the Vietnam and Iraq wars; teaching tips in
this edition draw on years of teacher experience in using mysteries
in their classrooms since the publication of the first edition.
