Thinking Historically through Writing focuses on teaching, through writing, modern American history from Reconstruction to civil rights and desegregation of schools. The workshop, for both secondary and college teachers, takes a case study approach. Participants examine the roots of key moments in modern American history, including Reconstruction and civil rights, American imperialism, the decision to drop the atomic bomb, and the Red Scare of the 1950s. The workshop models writing-to-read strategies for analyzing primary documents, secondary texts, and visual artifacts, to learn how historians interpret evidence, and how they construct stories based on those interpretations.
