Lit Review: America's History Through Young Voices

Despite the book's focus on the American curriculum (for which I have few primary sources), America's History Through Young Voices: Using Primary Sources in the K-12 Social Studies Classroom (2005) was extremely helpful to me. The book gives great explanations about primary, historical sources before discussing the five historical thinking concepts used in the United States. The following chapters each focus on one aspect of the K-12 curriculum, giving context about the content, reproducing parts of a young person's primary source, and providing questions or assignments modeled on the historical thinking concepts. Richard M. Wyman Jr. provides a resource that is practical and adaptable to any classroom.
