Why Won't You Just Tell Us the Answer
Written by an experienced classroom U.S. History teacher, "Why Won't You Just Tell Us the Answer?": Teaching Historical Thinking in Grades 7-12, chronicles Bruce Lesh's approach to developing and incorporating historical study investigations with his students at the center of the process. It is a remarkable read for anyone searching for a practicable method of engaging students in historical analysis. This is appropriate for any Grades 3 – 6th Grade also or any teacher that participated in the RRISD Library of Congress: Teaching with Primary Sources grant.

The book will be provided to you. Although the book’s title states grades 7-12, it is appropriate for teachers grades 3 – 6th Grade or any teacher that participated in the RRISD Library of Congress: Teaching with Primary Sources grant.
