Make the past come alive for your students with Doing History, a new program focusing on a document-based questioning (DBQ) approach to history instruction. Aligned with the National Council of Social Studies Standards, this innovative program offers an effective, hands-on format that invites students to explore, analyze, and interpret historical documents to gain insight into key events from the past.
Each level of Doing History includes:
- over 60 historical documents including broadsides, political cartoons, letters, daguerreotypes, battle maps, and treaties;
- strategies for interpreting primary and secondary sources;
- scaffolding questions to help build comprehension step by step;
- complete instructional units on analyzing historical documents and synthesizing information to produce clear, focused writing;
- critical-thinking and writing skills practice for social studies.
Doing History makes studying history more meaningful for students and helps them develop the skills they need to perform up to their potential on social studies assessments. |
