Inquiry-Based Lessons in World History cover

Spanning the time period from 15,000 BCE to 1500 CE, Inquiry-Based Lessons in World History (Vol. 1) focuses on creating global connections between people and places using primary sources in standards-based lessons. With sections on early humans, the ancient world, classical antiquity, and the world in transition, this book provides teachers with inquiry-based, ready-to-use lessons that can be adapted to any classroom and that encourage students to take part in the learning process by reading and thinking like historians. Each section contains chapters that correspond to the scope and sequence of most world history textbooks. Each inquiry lesson begins with an essential question and connections to content and literacy standards, followed by primary source excerpts or links to those sources. Lessons include step-by-step directions, incorporate a variety of literacy strategies, and require students to make a hypothesis using evidence from the texts they have read.

Grades 7-10

Kirchner & McMichael have written a wonderful text to assist educators in preparing their lesson plans for world history. It is a great reference for new teachers and a way to breathe new life into the lessons of older educators. This work will help expand your lessons where budget restraints come into play for the educator as well.,Lewie Dunn,Adjunct Professor of History, Georgia Military College, 5/20/19
This is a phenomenal find for me. I teach seventh grade Ancient History, and I am constantly searching for ways to make the material more relevant and exciting. The topical links are important themes that are common in all cultures, like religion, government, geography, culture, art, technology and economics. By repeatedly discussing these connections among civilizations, the book can deepen learning and greatly enhance student memory and recall of the material.,Joanne Bell,MiddleWeb, 7/11/19
