Reviews

We all know that teaching history is vital, but Passanisi brings her specific knowledge of tweens to the conversation. This book acknowledges the uniqueness of this age group and explores how to employ specific strategies in teaching them to look beyond their me-centric world. Passanisi clearly loves her students, shares ways to engage them in a rigorous way, and helps them expand their understanding of our past to find their own place in history. -Heather Wolpert-Gawron, Author of DIY Project Based Learning for ELA and Social Studies This resourceful book is a road map to using history to facilitate the development of sociologically mindful global citizens. After reading History Class Revisited, educators will be eager to incorporate Passanisi's model of social studies education, which balances purpose-driven, expository text exploration and writing with real-world field trips, simulations, and project-based learning. Passanisi teaches educators to guide students towards academic confidence and choice so that they may transfer evaluation and decision-making skills into their own lives as they grow to become autonomous, impactful young people. --Catherine Stanley, Sixth Grade English Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher, North Carolina
