Support teaching a people’s history
The Zinn Education Project, a collaborative effort by Teaching for Change and Rethinking Schools, has launched the new Zinn Education Project: Teaching a People’s History website.
Thanks to the support of an anonymous donor and the Caipirinha Foundation, the site features over 75 free, downloadable teaching activities for middle and high school classrooms to bring a people’s history to the classroom.
The site also lists hundreds of recommended books, films and websites. The teaching activities and resources are organized by theme, time period and grade level.
This is the only collection of its kind for educators – print or online — in the country. Please visit and register for the new Zinn Education Project: Teaching a People’s History website. We also have a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/
I can UNDERSTAND pessimism, but I don’t BELIEVE in it. It’s not simply a matter of faith, but of historical EVIDENCE. Not overwhelming evidence, just enough to give HOPE, because for hope we don’t need certainty, only POSSIBILITY.
