Discovering Quacks, Utopias, and Cemeteries: Modern Lessons from
Historical Themes explores two enduring issues - our age-old
pursuit of better lives and how the media impacts our choices. In
this unique approach to social history, each chapter opens with
essential questions asking the reader to consider these issues in
historical and modern life. The histories of fake cures, imaginary
and real utopias, cemeteries, tombstones, and scrapbooks are
explored from ancient times through the transformations caused by
the Industrial Revolution into the twentieth century. Historical
images, excerpts from primary source documents, and activities
adaptable to learners of all ages are included to illustrate the
role of historical media. Quacks, Utopias, and Cemeteries, the
third in the daily life series by Cynthia Resor, is an ideal book
for history enthusiasts, especially social studies teachers,
education or humanities professors, museum educators, and anyone
wanting to know about the lives of average people in the past.
This book introduces a thematic approach to social history that
connects the past to the daily lives of students. Historical
overviews of vacation and manners spanning from the ancient world
to twentieth century United States provide detailed context for the
teacher, emphasize issues related to social class, sex and gender,
and popular culture, and examine the methods of social historians.
Four unique primary source sets, reading guides, and
essential/compelling questions for students are provided that
encourage inquiry learning and the development of critical literacy
skills aligned with the Common Core Standards for Literacy and the
College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies
State Standards. Each themed chapter includes suggestions for
extending each theme to current events, the local community through
placed-based education, and across content areas for
interdisciplinary instruction. The final chapter provides guidance
on how to research additional historical themes, locate relevant
primary sources, and prepare themed lessons and units.
