"Uncoverage" in History Survey Courses | Teachinghistory.org - 1 views

      I have a pdf of the Calder article. Let me know if you are interested in reading it.
  • Although the article focuses on college-level courses, the uncoverage concept could apply just as well to middle- and high-school classes, which are almost always taught as survey courses.
  • Too often, history survey courses focus only on "what happened," without stopping to consider the work that historians do or to inquire into the writing and reading of history.
  •  
    Article discusses the theory behind "uncovering" history.
  •  
    I would be interested in the article when you get the chance. Thanks for the great info Eric. I'm excited to be able to adapt this for some of my classes.
