During the last decade the concept of “transnational
history” has become popular. This year’s Flow of History program adopts this
perspective to examine “America on the World Stage.” Our purpose will be to
understand the global dimensions of U.S. history from the beginning to the
present day. Within the broad framework of studying America’s relationships
with other countries and our evolving role in the world, we will reexamine some
familiar episodes from a different vantage point as we consider themes of
national values and identity, trade, imperialism, war, and globalization. The
program is designed to address topics of interest to teachers at all grade
levels—the first half of the year will take us through the mid-19th century and
has some emphasis on food, while the second half focuses on the 20th century
with an emphasis on Asia.
Common Core priorities will inform
our pedagogical approach. Throughout the year we will practice strategies like
close reading, scaffolded primary source analysis, and pairing literary,
nonfiction, and visual texts for building historical knowledge and critical
thinking.
