Teaching Hard History’s Framework for Teaching American Slavery and the Choices Program’s U.S. History Series

3:00 pm — 4:00 pm
Webinar Series - 2 of 4
DETAILS

Our colleagues at Teaching Hard History recently reviewed six Choices Program U.S. History curriculum units to document how these units address the Key Concepts and Summary Objectives outlined in the Framework. They reviewed the following units: Racial Slavery in the Americas: Resistance, Freedom, and Legacies; The American Revolution: Experiences of Rebellion; We the People: A New Nation; The Civil War and the Meaning of Liberty; Westward Expansion: A New History.

Join us to learn more about how these Choices units fit into the five eras of history described by the Framework, and strategies for using the Framework in tandem with the Choices unit to present a comprehensive history of American slavery to your students.

This webinar is the second of a four-part series on The Choices Program’s U.S. History Series: Bringing All Voices into the Story. Attend one or all of the remaining sessions! What makes the Choices Program’s U.S. History series different from many curricular offerings in the marketplace? One way that Choices curriculum units stand out is our commitment to telling a responsible and inclusive history of the United States. Join us for this four-part exploration of practical examples of how our curriculum brings multiple voices into the telling of history, while still providing the coverage of key turning points that are required in most standards.

NOTE: This webinar will begin at 3 pm EDT.

RELATED CONTENT

Racial Slavery in the Americas: Resistance, Freedom, and Legacies

This unit provides a wide-ranging overview of racial slavery in the Americas and the opportunity for students to consider how the past shapes the present.

The American Revolution: Experiences of Rebellion

Students consider the perspectives of various stakeholders—colonists, enslaved Africans, and Native peoples—and explore the factors that led to rebellion, war, and the independence of the U.S.

We the People:
A New Nation

Rather than taking the usual approach of learning history from only the perspective of the elite political leaders, students consider the opportunities, hardships, aspirations, and questions facing people across society in the United States in its earliest years—from 1783 to 1830.

Westward Expansion:
A New History

Students explore the transformation of North America in the nineteenth century and probe this complicated and violent history, considering the major events and policies that accompanied U.S. territorial growth and the effects at a local level.

The Civil War and the Meaning of Liberty

Students probe the history of the United States from 1830 to 1865. Using primary sources, readings, and lessons, students consider the experiences of people in the United States as well as the issues driving the political confrontation over slavery and the meaning of liberty.
