In the March edition of "Social Education", March 1996, Vol. 60, No. 3,
it has a few articles, I believe dealing with your concern.
1. "To Touch, To Feel, To See: Artifacts Inquiry in the Social Studies
Classroom," by Sheery L. Field, etc. pp. 141- 143. Has good references!
2. "Using Schema Theory to Teach American History," Mac Duies, pp. 144-
146.
3. "What U.S. Political History Reveals for Social Studies Education,"
Randy K. Mills, pp. 159-161/
4. "Problem of Bias in History Textbooks," Michael H. Romanowksi.
5. "The U.S. Civil War on the World Wide Web" C. Frederick Risinger.
I suggest go into your search engines in the web, ask for "history"
"history, education," "Social Studies" -- there are great Webs sites
on history. If you cannot find them, get back to me and I'll check
my files. For example, http://www.csun.edu/~hcedu013 --- is for
developing Social Studies Lesson plans and resources. http://execpc.
com/~dboals/k-12.ntml is for k-12 Soruces: Curriculum and Lesson Plans.
I hope this is of help.
