Thanks! Once a month, I post a list of whatever random thing I’m thinking about (mostly music and books). I started the series because one Monday, I couldn’t think of what to write about. 😜 And then I just kept going with it.
I love seeing Zinn's work here. When I taught high school humanities with a colleague of mine, he had the brilliant idea of teaching the typical United States History textbook next to Zinn's. The students analyzed the two books and discussed whose story gets to be told. Back then I wish we had Hamilton, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.. I love that you are doing similar work with 5th graders.
Thanks for the quote, and glad you mentioned the piece by Sam Wineburg. I have used bits of Zinn, but I think we have to be careful of overdoing the opposite of a rah-rah white male perspective. Balance is important!
LOVE THESE. I had no idea your top 5 was a series. Can't wait to read more! And maybe I'll do a few. :)
