Summary:
"Now in its fifth edition, Doing History offers a unique perspective on teaching and learning history in the elementary and middle grades. Through case studies of teachers and students in diverse classrooms and from diverse backgrounds, it shows children engaging in authentic historical investigations, often in the context of an integrated social studies curriculum. The authors explain how the teaching demonstrated in the vignettes reflects basic principles of contemporary learning theory. Diversity of perspectives is emphasized in two ways: readers encounter students from a variety of backgrounds, and students themselves look at history from multiple perspectives"-- Provided by publisher.
