Make History with Your Students

From bestselling author Paul Bambrick-Santoyo and Art Worrell, Uncommon Schools’ Director of History Instruction, comes Make History, an inspiring book on how educators can take history instruction to the next level. History teachers face unique challenges in introducing history lessons to students, and they are under increasing pressure to get it “right” in an age of social progress and social divisiveness. This book is a guide to bring the past to life while teaching students how to make sense of history.

Use the ideas and techniques to turn your history students into writers, readers, and thinkers who are ready not only to succeed in college, but also to become leaders and change agents. By showing how to teach rigorous, engaging lessons that centre student thinking and voice, Make History turns history class into the most exciting part of a student’s day.

  • Reimagine history education to help students build their own unique arguments about the past
  • Ask tough questions to help students grapple with difficult historical periods
  • Set the stage for authentic discourse that students remember long past the bell
  • Give students the tools to become socially aware, build their own identity, and think and write like historians

Teachers and instructional coaches in grades 5-12 will love this new, insightful approach to history—one that works for today’s classrooms.
