- The role of religion in United States History is often neglected in the teaching of eleventh grade curriculum. Leaders and individuals with religious convictions strove to improve society and influenced political and social dynamics throughout American history. The Social Gospel Movement serves as one example of religious influence on social reform movements such as woman suffrage and the Civil Rights Movement. The inclusion of the role of religion in teaching eleventh grade history also can serve for incorporating historical thinking into the classroom. Information in magazines, local newspapers, sermons, prayers, and books, serve as primary source material. Analysis of the role of religion through the works of religious leaders provides insights into the significant role religion had on social movements regarding the rights of women and African Americans in the United States. The Social Gospel Movement influenced the development and outcome of arguments regarding woman suffrage and civil rights for African Americans. The role of religion can be incorporated into the eleventh grade curriculum throughout the year by using primary resources. The inclusion of primary documents by religious leaders provides students with a more complex understanding to the context of historical events and demonstrates the continuity of the role of religion in American politics and society.

- While Japanese-Americans made great contributions to the United States during the twentieth century, relatively little of their history is included in the California State Social Studies Framework. In order to better understand the injustice of World War II internment, it is essential that students understand the nativist political movement in California that sought to exclude the Japanese from participation in the mainstream culture and economy. Through exposure to a greater depth of primary and secondary historical sources, students will be able to gain a more complete understanding of the process that brought about interment. Primary research which consisted of oral histories, newspaper collections and photographic archives was done at the California Museum in for Women, History, and the arts in Sacramento, CA and through various secondary source materials obtained at California State University Sacramento. On-line historical databases such as Densho, JARDA, Library of Congress and Digital History were used to obtained several primary and secondary source documents. A study of the causes and consequences of World War II internment is essential to understanding the history of political and social injustice in the United States. The development of historical thinking skills through primary source document analysis will provide students with a more complete account of the history behind Japanese Internment.

- Description:
- The Women’s Political Council fought bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, prior to the 1955 bus boycott but these women are often neglected in teaching about the civil rights movement. Women such as Jo Ann Robinson, who led the Women’s Political Council in Montgomery in the 1950s, as well as the women involved in Browder v. Gayle, that ultimately declared bus segregation to be unconstitutional, are important to understanding the bus boycott in its complexity. These women were tireless innovators who blazed the trail for the boycott to be successful. Their often forgotten achievements are important in understanding the role of women in the boycott and the boycott itself. Highlighting the complex and underlying causes of the boycott and women’s role in the boycott teaches students that the boycott did not “just happen.” It was the result of gendered, racial and economic tensions gradually brought to light by people willing to bravely challenge the status quo. Emphasizing primary source investigation, this project proposes 11th grade history curriculum on the bus boycott and the Women’s Political Council that serves as a model for incorporating historical thinking in history educators’ classrooms. Primary source material used in this project to demonstrate the origins and strategies of the WPC, include memoirs and oral histories of women “trailblazers” such as Jo Ann Robinson, Mary Fair Burks and Rosa Parks; voting records, bus passenger population, and voting and census records; legal documents such as laws specific to bus segregation and the Browder v. Gayle Supreme Court. Finally, history pedagogy references include educational studies produced by Sam Wineburg. The Women’s Political Council was the catalyst for the Montgomery bus boycott. The black female professors and professionals in Montgomery were the original trailblazers of the civil rights movement. The Montgomery bus boycott and the WPC provide an excellent model for teaching a complex civil rights event, encouraging critical thinking, and historical thinking skills

- Description:
- Chicanos are essentially absent from the State of California United States History Content Standards, as a result Chicanos are excluded from the narrative of American history. Because Chicanos are not included in the content standards and due to the lack of readily available resources, this presents a challenge for teachers to teach about the role Chicanos have played in U.S. history. Chicanas have also largely been left out of the narrative of the Chicano Movement, also therefore resulting in an incomplete history of the Chicano Movement. This gap in our historical record depicts an inaccurate representation of our nation’s history. Research was conducted at the Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) at the California State University, Sacramento and Sacramento State University Library. The Royal Chicano Air Force Collection and the Sally Wagoner Collection at SCUA along with articles from Chicano magazines such as Regeneración form the basis of this research. Including instruction on the Chicano struggle for equality in the United States would enhance the curriculum and create a more complete historical narrative. Chicana feminism and their contributions to the Chicano Movement need to be further researched. The use of primary sources and the explicit teaching and scaffolding of historical thinking allows students to critically engage with historical content while learning the skills necessary to grapple with and think deeply about historical questions.
