------ Forwarded Message From: Jeremy Greene <worldhistoryteacher@hotmail.com> Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:13:30 +0000 To: An H-Net List for Teaching Social Studies in Secondary Schools <H-HIGH-S@H-NET.MSU.EDU> Subject: Help needed in developing a course Jeremy GreeneChelmsford HSworldhistoryteacher@hotmail.com Well, First you have to pick a few texts. I would recommend: Sam Wineburg, Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts For US choose two of the following: James Percoco, _A Passion for the Past_ and/or _Divided We Stand_Bruce Lesh _Why Wonıt You Just Tell Us the Answer_ Joan Brodsky Schur, _Eyewitness to the Past_Sam Wineburg, Daisy Martin, and Chauncy Monte-Sano, _Reading Like a Historian_ For world history: Heidi Roupp, ed. _Teaching World History in the 21st Century_ That would be four books General books (not sure you need or want these, but they might help you teach the nitty gritty not specifically history stuff that Tom Mounkhall mentions below.):Mike Schmoker, _Focus_Doug Lemov, _Teach Like a Champion_Harry Wong, _The First Days of School_Heidi Hayes Jacobs, _Curriculum 21_ I would make them aware of sites like thwt.orgSuch as:Resources for History Teachers wiki (Created by Bob Maloy who teaches pre-service teachers at UMass and mostly edited by his students to help them prepare for the state teacher test) : http://resourcesforhistoryteachers.wikispaces.com/ Teaching History .org: http://teachinghistory.org/ The Stanford History Education Group: http://sheg.stanford.edu/ OAH Magazine of History: (hopefully through a database used to have several free articles online here: http://magazine.oah.org/issues/ World History For Us All: http://worldhistoryforusall.sdsu.edu/ World History Connected: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/ The AP history course pages, especially the sample syllabi for planning a whole year. Then of course using content websites to make lessons, such as the Smithsonian: http://www.smithsoniansource.org/ National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/education/ 100 Objects: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/about/british-museum-objects/ For what to teach Tom Mounkhallıs list is about as good as any. Also donıt miss his article in Heidi Rouppıs book listed above. Keep us posted.

I edited the subject line so that list members would knowthat this is a separate discussion--Michael H.) I am developing a class on teaching methods for college studentsplanning to teach high school history, and while I have more than 20 years of experience teaching at the college level, I've never taught in high school. I'm wondering if the list members could give me some input on things they think should be addressed in such a class, including types of assignments, texts, exercises, or anything else they would like to share with me. Thanks in advance for your help! Dr. Tamara L.
