Select a marginalized group whose perspectives have been omitted or inadequately covered in U.S. history. Examples include American Indians and their forced removal to reservations in the 1800s, Japanese Americans and their internment in prison camps during World War II, and Chinese Americans and their role in the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s. Read several pieces of historical fiction or nonfiction about that era written from the perspective of that group. Discuss the perspectives offered by these books as compared to a U.S. history textbook.
What will be an ideal response?
When Mr. Conrad's high school students asked him to allow them to get into their groups and talk about the upcoming field trip rather than discussing the chapter, Mr. Conrad said, "I'm going to invoke the Premack principle." What did he most likely do?
a. Tell students to promise to do a good job of discussing the chapter if he allowed them to talk about the field trip first. b. Tell students to discuss the field trip in groups and agree to do the chapter questions for homework. c. Tell students to stop asking for class time to talk about the field trip if they still want to go on the field trip. d. Tell students they must discuss the chapter first and then get into groups to talk about the field trip.
Students on a math test performed well on a set of computational problems but were not able to solve word problems in which the same computational skills were required. Of the following, the most likely reason for this fact is:
a. students hadn't sufficiently rehearsed the computations to the point where they were automatic. b. the teacher failed to provide enough drill and practice with the computational problems. c. the algorithms for the computations were not encoded in the students' long-term memories. d. the practice context and the problem-solving context were not similar enough to allow transfer to occur.
Which is the most accurate statement about textbooks and historical fiction?
a. Textbooks provide an accurate and objective perspective on historical events and should be used in the integrated curriculum—historical fiction should be downplayed as a valid means of learning history. b. While historical fiction focuses on the results of an action, textbooks allows readers to look at why that action occurred. c. Historical fiction should take precedence over textbooks because textbooks are written for students of various developmental and ability levels. d. While textbooks focus on the results of an action, historical fiction allows readers to look at why that action occurred.
