"Students as Historians" Web Project

Faculty Members: Anthony Brown

Project Description: This project illustrates how various people, events, and institutions have been excluded, misrepresented and/or over-generalized in the formal curriculum. Students create a web-based visual, historical narrative that presents multiple perspectives and prompts others, through document-based questions, to engage in historical reasoning. The Students as Historians website showcases the students' projects and provides resources for teachers and curriculum developers interested in using the projects in their classrooms.
