In this follow-up to his landmark bestseller, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, Loewen goes beyond the usual textbook-dominated curriculum to illuminate a wealth of intriguing, often hidden facts about America's past. Calling for a new way to teach history, this book offers teachers specific ideas for how to get students excited about history, how to get them to DO history, and how to help them read critically. It will specifically help teachers tackle difficult but important topics like the American Indian experience, slavery, and race relations. Throughout, Loewen shows how "teaching what really happened" not only connects better with all kinds of students, it better prepares those students to be tomorrow's citizens. Book features: A refreshingly candid assessment of the pitfalls and potential of American history education; Ideas from teachers across the country who are empowering students with the real story of America's history; Strategies for teaching historiography and incorporating project-oriented, self-learning; Specific chapters dedicated to the five content topics usually taught particularly badly in today's schools. - Publisher.
