Teaching U.S. History as Mystery

Teaching U.S. History as Mystery, 2nd Edition offers a clear set of principles and methods teachers can use to promote and sustain problem-finding and problem-solving in history, along with case studies and documentary examples for test runs in their own classrooms. Designed to engage students in grades 7-12 in investigating history as a mysterious and provocative subject, this methodology builds a new attitude toward the study of history, presenting it as hands-on involvement, subject to interpretation, uncertain in many respects, and inviting new viewpoints and meanings.
