Ball Publishing Rightfully Ours: How Women Won the Vote, 21
Book SynopsisWinner of: VOYA'S Nonfiction Honor List 2012 Amelia Bloomer List 2013 Though the Declaration of Independence stated that “all men are created equal,” women and girls in the early days of the United States had few rights—their lives were controlled by their husbands or fathers. Married women could not own property, and few girls were taught more than reading and simple math. Not one woman could vote, but that would change with the tireless efforts of Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Lucy Burns, Alice Paul, and thousands of others across the nation.Rightfully Ours tells of the century-long struggle for women’s suffrage in the United States. In addition to its lively narrative, this history includes a time line, online resources, and hands-on activities that will give readers a sense of the everyday lives of the suffragists. Children will:· create a banner for suffrage· host a Victorian tea· stage a “readers’ theater” for women’s rights· feel what it was like to wear a corset· bake a cake from the Woman Suffrage Cook Book· and moreThrough it all, readers will gain a richer appreciation for not only the women who secured the right to fully participate in American democracy, but also why they must never take that right for granted.Trade Review"An excellent, readable introduction to an important topic." -- School Library Journal"Lively and gently instructive." -- Asbury Park Press"[A] fine history of how women got the vote in the United States...[it] offers a powerful lesson in the vindication of the rights of women." -- Kirkus Reviews

V&R unipress GmbH Die Komplexität des kompetenzorientierten
Book SynopsisDer Paradigmenwechsel der Kompetenzorientierung erfordert neue Forschungen zu den Prozessen historischen Denkens und Lernens und zu den komplexen Zusammenhängen zwischen Akteuren, Medien und Konzepten des Geschichtsunterrichts. Welche Vorstellungen haben Jugendliche von gelungenem Geschichtsunterricht? Wie verhalten sich Fachwissen, fachdidaktisches Wissen und Professionswissen von Lehrkräften zueinander? Welche Chancen birgt die Archäologiedidaktik? Vertiefende Analysen widmen sich einzelnen Aspekten des Unterrichtsgeschehens. So beleuchten die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln etwa auch die Rolle der Sprache im Fach Geschichte. Nicht zuletzt gilt es, das Spannungsfeld der normativen Ansprüche zu vermessen, denen der Geschichtsunterricht ausgesetzt ist./ The paradigm shift towards the focus on competence training calls for new research regarding the processes of historical thinking and learning as well as the complex interaction between players, media and concepts of history as a school subject. What concepts do teenagers have of a successful history lesson? How do expertise, didactic methodology and professional knowledge of teachers interact? Which possibilities does a didactic of archeology offer? Detailed analyses focus on separate aspects of the teaching process. However, several internal interrelations arise between the research projects. For instance, the function of language in history lessons is highlighted from multiple perspectives. Not least, the fields of conflicts of normative claims which history as a school subject is exposed to need to be charted.
