Free Classroom Sets of A People's History of the United States to 20
Teachers

	

 

	March 2010

Dear William,

The Zinn Education Project is giving away classroom sets (25 books per
set) of Howard Zinn's best-seller, A People's History of the United
States
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103159168304&s=31815&e=0011Aco7-UKIGFz5YG
c3RqCSgaFF1xYHpfeqRvNZZesx2VJaE9aaSyscWXh9kjp2csYFXc1Cb4bCGOLUAoixFS21t_
0BLa0xOoB3f5gJjiPNqIc9IAyKIpSO6pFYgMnO2nakSOdYJfsD1w=> , to 20 teachers
who submit stories about how they teach a people's history in the
classroom. A total of 500 books to be given away! Books have been
donated by HarperCollins. 

We have provided some questions to help elicit the reason, use, and
impact of your teaching a people's history story.  We are looking for
stories ranging from 2-4 pages in length. 
 
Deadline is Monday, April 26.

 

Guidelines

We are looking for narrative responses. These are suggested, not
required, questions to address.

________________


Reason
When did you first start using A People's History of the United States
and/or the Zinn Education Project materials in the classroom? Why?

Use
List the excerpt(s) from A People's History of the United States and/or
the Zinn Education Project teaching activity that you used. Describe the
class you used it in and why you selected it. If you used an excerpt
from A People's History of the United States, how did you use it? If you
used a Zinn Education Project teaching activity, did you modify it? If
so, how? 

Impact

What impact did using an excerpt or teaching activity have on students?
What comments did they make, what insights did they gain, what questions
did they have? Student quotes are encouraged. Did you face any pushback
or criticism using these materials? Did this impact your use of the book
or teaching activities?

submissions at zinnedproject.org <mailto:submissions at zinnedproject.org> .
