I am often asked about additional books and/or materials that could be used by students and which facilitate the inquiry driven classroom.  Here are some that I have used and which are great sources to foster a document based lesson approach to History and Social Studies.

• Ordinary Americans: U.S. History Through the Eyes of Everyday People by Linda R. Monk
• Don’t Know Much About History, Anniversary Edition: Everything You Need to Know About American History but Never Learned by Kenneth Davis
• Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen
• A Young People’s History of the United States-Howard Zinn, Student Version
• Guns, Germs, and Steel by Dr. Jerod Diamond
• SpringBoard
• Universal Design for Learning
