Inquiry-Based Lessons in U.S. History: Decoding the Past provides
primary source lessons that focus on teaching U.S. history through
inquiry to middle school students. Students will be faced with a
question to answer or problem to solve and will examine primary
sources for evidence to create hypothetical solutions. The chapters
focus on key chronological periods (e.g., the Age of Exploration to
the Civil Rights era) and follow the scope and sequence of major
social studies textbooks, with activities linked to the U.S.
History Content Standards and the Common Core State Standards for
Literacy in History/Social Studies. The three lesson plans in each
chapter begin with an essential question that sets the focus for
the primary sources and teaching strategies that follow. The lesson
plans include differing types of primary sources such as
photographs, speeches, political cartoons, historic maps,
paintings, letters, and diary entries. Grades 5-8
