This book offers the tools teachers need to get started with a more
thoughtful and compelling approach to teaching history, one that
develops literacy and higher-order thinking skills, connects the
past to students' lives today, and meets social studies 3C
standards and most state standards (grades 6-12). The author
provides over 90 primary sources organized into seven thematic
units, each structured around an essential question from world
history. As students analyze carefully excerpted
documents-including speeches by queens and rebels, ancient
artifacts, and social media posts-they build an understanding of
how diverse historical figures have approached key issues. At the
same time, students learn to participate in civic debates and
develop their own views on what it means to be a 21st-century
citizen of the world. Each unit connects to current events with
dynamic classroom activities that make history come alive. In
addition to the documents themselves, this teaching manual provides
strategies to assess student learning; mini-lectures designed to
introduce documents; activities and reproducibles to help students
process, display, and integrate their learning; guidance to help
teachers create their own units; guidelines for respectful student
debate and discussion; and more. Book Features: A timely aid for
secondary school teachers tasked with meeting standards and other
state-level quality requirements. An approach that promotes student
engagement and critical thinking to replace or augment a
traditional textbook. Challenges to the "master narrative" of world
history from figures like Queen Nzinga and Huda Sha'arawi, as well
as traditionally recognized historical figures such as Pericles and
Napoleon. Essential questions to help students explore seven of the
most important recurring themes in world history. Role-plays and
debates to promote interaction among students. Printable copies of
the documents included in the book can be downloaded at
