      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.

    The curriculum begins with a message from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and an introductory essay, "The Great Depression: An Overview," written by David C. Wheelock, a research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and an expert on the Great Depression.

    Some great lessons. I personally will be using some form of Lesson 2 - What Do People Say? (work with 6 letters written from various people in the 20s of the causes of the G.D.) and Lesson 3.What Really Caused the Great Depression? (create a budget sheet before and after the G.D. and identify tradeoffs made. They have pdf.s available as well as smartboard material.

    Economics focused lessons on the Great Depression. Some use primary source data. Some sources are fictionalized letters.
