History is a vibrant and passionate discipline that provides learners with a unique lens to view how we, as a nation and as a people, achieved our position in the world. The past, however, can be a confusing and mystifying world if students are not armed with the skills to think historically or read history texts and historical sources. How can educators prepare their students to think and read as historians do, and engage them in critical thinking activities that require intense processing and investigation? Classroom Historians: Building Student Understanding of the Past addresses this question by presenting both the concepts and research that underlie historical thinking and reading, and the processes and strategies that teachers need to engage students in history and build the skills they need to become classroom historians. The authors provide targeted strategies, teaching models, graphic organizers and step by step instructions for classroom activities that can be applied to students in grades 4-12. With the current push toward adoption of the Common Core Standards, these strategies provide teachers with the tools necessary to help students meet - and exceed - those standards.

Format:Paperback
I have had the unique pleasure of working with and learning from Fran and Robby. I've watched as they have implemented the theories and strategies contained in the book to a national audience. They have provided an invaluable resource for teachers of history, social studies, and english-language arts. With the impending implementation of the Common Core Standards; everyone should consider this book a must for their collection. You'll reference it often!!
