About this title

Synopsis

“Filled with excellent examples of model lessons and units, any social studies educator will find this book a valuable addition to their professional library.” ―CHOICE

2024 American Historical Association (AHA) James Harvey Robinson Prize for Teaching Aids

This practical book addresses the consistent questions that were posed by secondary social studies teachers during professional learning sessions. In particular, it examines ways to break through the inclination and perception expressed by many teachers that “my kids cannot do that.”

Drawing on 22 years as a high school history teacher, 7 years as a state-level curriculum specialist, and extensive work with inservice teachers across the country, the author provides research-based guidance for engaging students in investigating the past. Lesh examines ways to develop effective questions that guide historical inquiries, utilize discussion in the classroom, and align assessment to inquiry. He also shows teachers how to incorporate difficult histories within an inquiry framework. Each chapter uses a specific lesson, framed by student work, to illuminate approaches in real classroom scenarios. Topics include the Pullman Strike of 1894, the Marcus Garvey question, Dust Bowl Migrants, the LGBTQ+ fight for rights, and multiple lessons from World War I.

This follow-up to the author’s book "Why Won't You Just Tell Us the Answer?" fills in gaps and expands tools and classroom examples to assist today’s teachers.

Demonstrates how to align investigating the past with the needs of reluctant readers and students with special needs.
