Critical Thinking in United States History
- by Kevin O'Reilly
A thinking approach to learning history. Makes history fresh, relevant, and real!
Grades: 6th - 12th+
Subject: History
Student Content with Answer Guide
Critical Thinking in United States History uses fascinating original source documents and discussion-base critical thinking methods to help students evaluate conflicting perspectives of historical events. This process stimulates students' interest in history, improves their historical knowledge, and develops their analytical skills for assessment tests.
Methods
For each lesson, students examine two or more perspectives of an event using analysis and evaluation skills such as identifying types of reasoning and evaluating sources. Through debating historians' evidence, inferences, analogies, and assumptions, students come away with a deeper understanding of specific events. They also learn to examine any historical, or current, event with a more critical mind.
Instruction/Answer Guide
Includes objectives, teaching suggestions, focus questions, and answers. Use of the guides is highly recommended.
Book on CD
This Book on CD allows you to install and print the Student book and the Instruction/Answer Guide from your own printer. This book on CD is a useful alternative to photocopying.
Product Reviews
"This [series] is meant to give you a taste of the excitement of historical interpretation and debate. It is also meant to give you guidance in learning the skills necessary to evaluate conflicting viewpoints. The goal is to empower you, as citizens in a democratic society, to make decisions for yourself regarding what you read, see, or hear about the issues of tomorrow--issues where there are few easy answers, and where reasonable people disagree." -Kevin O'Reilly, author
"We strongly suggest...you use the Critical Thinking in United States History series....[T]hey are invaluable in helping the student evaluate historical evidence." -Jessie Wise & Susan Wise Bauer, The Well-Trained Mind
