Highlighting the best scholarship for each major continent, the text explores the ways that this scholarship can be adapted by teachers in the classroom in order to engage and inspire students. Each of the eight main chapters highlights a particularly important event or theme, which is then complemented by a detailed discussion of a particular methodological approach. Key features include: * An overarching narrative that helps readers address historical arguments; * Relevant primary documents or artifacts, plus a discussion of a particular historical method well-suited to teaching about them; * Lesson plans suitable for both middle and secondary level classrooms; * Document-based questions and short bibliographies for further research on the topic.
