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.
