INQUIRY-BASED LESSONS IN U.S. HISTORY

Each chapter includes three lesson plans with organizing questions (e.g., How did George Washington’s "Farewell Address" outline a vision for the future of the United States? What was life like for the Lowell Mill Girls?), background information for teachers, online resources, and pertinent primary sources such as letters, speeches, maps, and diary entries. Lessons are correlated to the C3 and Common Core State Standards, and chapters follow the scope and sequence of major social studies textbooks, focusing on key chronological periods from the Age of Exploration to the Civil Rights era.
