Reviews of Women's History Curriculum These books and units provide women's history content plus lessons on ways to work with it. Most have been designed for use as supplements to commonly taught World History topics. Media such as CDs, videos, posters, or content only books are NOT reviewed here. Nor are materials to teach the history of women in the United States. Some of the material may be hard to find. We suggest either contacting the publisher directly or using.... For a description of our World History curriculum units click here For our recommended list of Internet resources on women's history clink here For our recommended list of World History books clink here Overview of our Findings for World History Materials In general, little of the exciting new scholarship about women history in a global context has found its way into classroom usable materials. Lessons about women in non-western regions are particularly hard to find. Biographies, internet sites, videos, CDs, and literature anthologies are available in growing numbers, but few offer lessons or discussion questions which will help to constructively use the information in a classroom setting. Most materials also still rely on biographic information about the well known "great women," or on topics that can be found in texts written in earlier decades, such as women's status in ancient Greece, Egypt, or medieval Europe. There are, however, more good primary source materials which highlight the female perspective, and more units about "daily life" which often include substantive content about women.

22. Lesson: Tools (Women In World History Curriculum) I teach the young girls how to weave and that makes me very happy to see themcarry on our traditional patterns 2001 Women In world history Curriculum. http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson8.html

Classroom Lesson Series Weavers Tell Their Stories Background: In the Highlands of Guatemala today many Maya women practice backstrap loom weaving, an art which has been a distinctive part of their culture since before the arrival of the Spaniards. The continuation of this type of weaving is one way women have resisted the culture imposed on them by their conquerors. In the last two decades it has been difficult for women to maintain their weaving skills. During the recent civil war in Guatemala the military tried to stop the Indians from practicing their traditional arts. Fearing that those who were fighting against them were using the Indians to support their cause, the Guatemalan military attacked Indian villages, destroying over 400 and killing hundreds of thousands of people. They smashed thousands of weaving looms and even studied huipil design patterns to tell which villages people came from. A person was automatically suspect if they came from a village where the military suspected there to be anti-government forces. Many Maya fled Guatemala to become refugees in other countries. In spite of the harshness of these years of civil war, and of the poverty in which numbers still live, many Maya women continue to wear their traditional dress and to maintain the ancient art of backstrap weaving. Why Women Weave: Some of the reasons why women weave and wear their traditional clothes are revealed in the following short accounts. Read these accounts to discover what women say about the importance of weaving in their lives. Then follow the directions.

Dan DeFossey College: American University Major: Communications, Law, Economics, and Government Where he teaches: Roma, TX (Rio Grande Valley) What he teaches: 9th-12th grade world history and theater Greatest accomplishment: It was sometimes difficult for Dan and his students to see how they would get from their low performance on beginning of the year evaluations to the high standards that he had set for them. In response, Dan worked with his students to ensure that they were actively involved in setting goals for themselves and measuring their progress. He also created new opportunities for students to achieve and to truly take ownership of their own learning. Students participating in the theater program Dan started traveled to the state theater competition in Austin and received an award for honorable mention in a district theater competition. His students have also created the Gladiator Television Network, a student-run television station. In his own words: At first, when I pushed my kids, some of them fell down, and it was hard to pick them up. I began to work with the students so they would be able to measure their progress and take ownership of their learning. My world history students worked to overcome their fear of essays—and then thought they were a piece of cake. No longer did they dread to write those long, boring paragraphs and began to develop masterpieces. My theater students overcame the world’s #1 fear—being in front of the public. Not only did they perform skits that they wrote, they also did it in front of their peers. Most importantly, my students created a student-run television network from the ground up in a little less than 5 months. They all are simply amazing and drive me to teach every day.

Ordering Information National Endowment for the Humanities Grant for the Development of a Web-Based Model Curriculum for World History T he National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a grant to San Diego State University in collaboration with the National Center for History in the Schools to develop a Web-based model curriculum for world history. The project will assist educators in middle and high schools nation-wide to improve instruction in world history. Titled An Architecture for World History , the eighteen-month project will be based in the Departments of History and Educational Technology at SDSU. The Project Director is Ross E. Dunn, Professor of History at SDSU, and Director of World History Projects at the NCHS. In recent years a growing number of state education agencies and local school districts have implemented curriculum for global-scale world history. This project aims to provide history and social studies teachers with a comprehensive conceptual and pedagogical model for world history instruction that is integrated, intellectually challenging, and engaging for students. The model curriculum will be made available to educators on a new Web site based at SDSU. It will be designed as a one-year course primarily for ninth and tenth grade classrooms. The project leaders, however, intend the site to be exceptionally flexible and content rich. Therefore, it will be useful to history and social studies educators at all levels.

Documents menu World History Archives A general statement of policy, 17 February 2003 Write me at: KB1GRM@arrl.net The purpose of the World History Archives site is to support those who would teach or learn about world history. The site provides over 8000 documents on all aspects of the subject. The coherence of the site, such as there is, derives from a particular perspective, which is non-Eurocentric and working class. However, I do not apply these conditions rigidly. By non-Eurocentric, I mean not only a quantitative balance of documents that does not privilege the West, but a set of values applied to their selection that is not peculiarly Western. This is often not easy to do in practice. The working-class perspective must also be understood loosely. There is some emphasis on what the union movement is up to, but more importantly greater weight is given to concerns that affect the great majority of people (the working class), such as the social and economic dimensions of life. There is plenty of material that does not so obviously relate to working-class concerns and even some documents hostile to the working-class, for the aim here is not to satisfy just existing needs, but to educate by bringing people into contact with ideas and values that are unexpected and even hostile. Most of the material falls under the category, "contemporary history," which

Who Owns the Ancient Classics? This article appeared in History Matters! Ideas, Notes, and News about History Education 10.9 (May 1998), pp. 1-7. It has been updated as needed. In longer form, the article first appeared in World History Bulletin 11.2 (Summer/fall 1995), pp. i-viii. History Matters! www.history.org/nche . . . stood behind one of the huge pans and ladled soup into bowls which were held out to him by the prisoners, who hurriedly filed past. He was the only cook who did not look at the man whose bowl he was filling, the only cook who dealt out the soup equally, regardless of recipient, and who did not make favorites of . . . personal friends . . . picking out the potatoes for them, while others got watery soup skimmed from the top. The homely image of doling out food impartially to hungry people fits the curricular reform I am about to recommend. To be equitable in our schools, we need to make sure that all students have access to basic subject matter. This has not been the case for the ancient classics in our public high schools; only special groups are given the solid and nourishing intellectual food which is the classics. "Ancient classics," as I use the term here means the cultural products of the ancient Greeks and Romans: their literature, history, and philosophy; their art and architecture; and other material remains of their civilizations. These two ancient peoples left many enduring and powerful models of how to live well. Although often rich with ethical meaning, these are non-sectarian models with the advantage of not being connected with any of the warring sectarian religions.

Resources Where to go on the Web for more information In the wake of Sept. 11, FRONTLINE produced a series of documentaries , all of which dealt with the roots of terrorism and the complex evolution of U.S. policy and Islamic fundamentalism. Recognizing that students and teachers are now confronted with an ever-changing and ever-challenging global picture, FRONTLINE developed this guide to help teachers use the programs to meet a variety of instructional needs and to help students explore those intricate issues. This guide is recommended for students in grades 9-12 and beyond. It can be used in any or all of the following subject areas: civics, geography, global studies/world history, language arts, thinking and reasoning skills, and U.S. history. Further, the nine diverse classroom activities can be used with any of the FRONTLINE programs, except where noted. Any activities related to the causes and consequences of terrorism can raise deep-seated emotions. Before you and your students engage in such activities, you may want to set ground rules for respectful discussion. In addition, to help students avoid slipping into restrictive "us vs. them" thinking, especially as they explore life in unfamiliar countries, you may want to suggest opening questions for their inquiry. For example, rather than looking for what is different, what they agree with or feel comfortable with, or what they like, encourage students to begin their investigations with the question, "What can I learn?" Also, be sure that students carefully evaluate sources to see which ones are crafted by observers from

Welcome to Teaching World History in Georgia (TWHIG) a Web site established in 1997 by the University System of Georgia to advance teaching, research and service in the field of World History. Future plans for this site include a gallery featuring sample world history course syllabi, effective classroom instructional techniques and a bulletin board. These galleries will be designed to assist educators at all levels of instruction in sharing their experience in teaching world history in the state and to help them stay current with new developments in the field. For the moment, the site will serve as a gateway to other sites of significant interest to Georgians interested in world history. Two of the most significant of these sites are the Web site of the World History Association, which Georgians Marc Gilbert, (North Georgia College and State University), James Gillam, Marjorie Ganz and the late Martin Yanuck (all Spelman College) helped found in 1983 and the website of the Southeast World History Association, a WHA regional affiliate which grew out of a Georgia World History Association founded in 1987. Questions regarding the site and its future development should be directed to Marc Gilbert, professor of history at North Georgia College and State University, at mgilbert@ngcsu.edu.
