This report focuses on the American Revolution period. Before the unit began, three classes of fifth graders stated what they knew (or thought they knew) about the events leading up to the Revolutionary War, the War itself, and what occurred in the new nation as it began the process of governing itself. In general, students knew very little about this period as they approached their study of it. After the unit, most of the students were much better informed and seemed to have a reasonably good understanding of the events and the historical context in question. They also demonstrated some understanding of circumstances that may have contributed to the Revolutionary War. However, most students appeared to lacl, an appreciation of different interpretive positions on the issues that surrounded the birth of the United States. They also were limited in their understanding of how the new nation began the process of self-government.

Center for the Learning and Teaching ofElementary Subjects The Center for the Learning andTeaching of Elementary Subjects was awarded to Michigan State University in 1987 after anationwide competition. Funded by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement,U.S. Department of Education, the Elementary Subjects Center is a major projecthoused in the Institute for Research on Teaching (IRT).The program focuses on conceptualunderstanding, higher order thinking, and problem solving in elementaryschool teaching of mathematics, science, social studies, literature, and the arts.Center researchers are identifying exemplary curriculum, instruction, and evaluation practicesin the teaching of these school subjects; studying these practices to build newhypotheses about how the effectiveness of elementary schools can be improved;testing these hypotheses through school-based research; and making specific recommendationsfor the improvement of school policies, instructional materials, assessment procedures,and teaching practices.Research questions include, What content shouldbe taught when teaching these subjects for understanding and use of knowledge? Howdo teachers concentrate their teaching to use their limited resources best? and Inwhat ways is good teaching subject matter-specific? The work is designed to unfold inthree phases, beginning with literature review and interview studio; designed toelicit and synthesize the points of view ofvarious stakeholders (representatives of the underlyingacademic disciplines, intellectual leaders and organizations concerned withcurriculum and instruction in school subjects, classroom teachers, state- and district-levelpolicymakers) concerning ideal curriculum, instruction, and evaluation practices in thesefive content areas at the elementary level. Phase II involves interview andobservation methods designed to describe current practice, and in particular, best practice asobserved in the classrooms of teachers believed to be outstanding.Phase H also involves analysis of curricula(both widely used curriculum series and distinctivecurricula developed with special emphasis on conceptual understanding andhigher order applications), as another approach to gathering information about currentpractices.In Phase HI, models of ideal practice will be developed, based on what hasbeen learned and synthesized from thefirst two phases, and will be tested throughclassroom intervention studies. The findings of Center research arepublished by the IRT in the Elementary Subjects Center Series.Information about the Center isincluded in the IRT CommunicationOuarterly,(a newsletter for practitioners) andin lists and catalogs of IRT publications.

FIFTH-GRADERS' IDEAS ABOUT THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION EXPRESSED BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING IT WITHIN A U.S. HISTORY COURSE Bruce A. VanSledright, Jere Brophy, and NancyBredinl Current theory and research on subject-matter teaching emphasize the im- portance of teaching school subjects for understanding, appreciation, and ap- plication, not just knowledge memorization and skills practice.Drawing on neo-Vygotskian theorizing and work on knowledge construction, conceptual change, and situated learning, educators have been developing methods of teach- ing school subjects in ways that connect with students' existing knowledge and experience and engage them in actively constructing new knowledge and changing their naive conceptions. Progress is most evident in mathematics and science, where rich literatures have developed describing what children typically know (or think they know) about the content taught at their respective grade levels. Curriculum developers can then use this information as a tsis for developing instruction that both builds on students' existing valid knowledge and con- fronts and changes their misconceptions. The potential for applying similar concepts and methods to curriculum de- velopment appears to be at least as great in social studies as in other school subjects, but realization of this potential cannot occur until a significant understanding is attained describing children's knowledge and naive ideas about the social studies content commonly taught at each grade level. The authors have initiated a program of research designed to address this

  • Molly Pitcher
    Molly Pitcher This is not a pension claim and is not to be considered as such, but as it has been often inquired about and there is correspondence in regard to her, I have filed it for convenience, no reference & searching. [I am intrigued, and got sidetracked!] Letter in folder dated September 18, 1933, one of many written inquiring about Molly Pitcher. Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Molly Pitcher of Revolutionary War fame. Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States based upon service in that war. There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of Molly Pitcher. It is suggested that you consult Lossing’s “Field Book of the Revolution”, Volume 2, page 155, land the magazine of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for September 1817, for information in regard to her; also the Pennsylvania State Librarian, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The story of Sarah Osborn is also of interest on this subject. Jim Morrison commented on women who followed the army, “Whores, all of them without exception. They were usually the wife of one of the soldiers, one woman cooked, did laundry, and serviced FIVE men. There is a bit in Willett’s journal about dismissing a husband and wife because he caused trouble over the servicing part of the arrangement.” Jim Morrison told me that a dig had been done at Saratoga and they found some women.

  • Cartographers As Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature
    Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature by Kyle Carsten Wyatt A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto © Copyright by Kyle Carsten Wyatt 2011 Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature Kyle Carsten Wyatt Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto 2011 Abstract “Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature” recuperates the print culture phenomenon of literary map production, which became popular in North America around 1898. A literary map can be defined as any pictorial map that depicts imaginative worlds or authorial associations across geopolitical space. While notable examples have circulated for centuries in bound books, such as Thomas More’s Utopia and William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, the majority of twentieth- century literary maps were ephemeral productions that have not survived in great numbers. These discursive documents functioned as compelling expressions of literary taste and cultural values; they circulated in magazines and newspapers, as gas station promotional giveaways and diner placemats, and as classroom “equipment.” Extant literary maps offer new perspectives on turn-of-the-twentieth century U.S. literary nationalism and the Public Library Movement, “fiction debates” and “Great Books”

  • Margaret Corbin: Molly Pitcher?
    Margaret Corbin: Molly Pitcher? ( Library of Congress ) Molly Pitcher simply did not exist during the American Revolutionary War. Like “Rosie the Riveter” of World War II fame, “Molly Pitcher” was the nickname given to the many woman who fought alongside men, whether disguised in men’s clothes or not. Historians disagree on who the "real" Molly Pitcher was; however, "Molly Pitcher" may be a composite image inspired by the actions of a number of real women. Several scholars tend to believe that Margaret Corbin’s actions during the war formed this composite image. When New York City fell to the British in the Fall of 1776, General George Washington and his badly defeated Continental Army fled across the Hudson River. Only remnants of Washington’s army remained at Fort Washington, perched high above the river, at the northern tip of Manhattan Island. On November 16, the fort came under attack. Among those held up inside were John Corbin and his twenty-five year old wife, Margaret Cochran Corbin. When the British assault began, John assumed his position as an assistant gunner, but soon was forced to take over the cannon when the gunner was killed. Margaret immediately replaced her husband, helping carry water to cool down the cannon so John could swab, reload, and fire the cannon again. But soon thereafter, John fell dead. Margaret did not hesitate as she stepped into John’s place, loading and firing the cannon herself. She could not grieve for her husband for British forces were closing in on the fort. Suddenly, Margaret felt a searing pain as grapeshot struck her shoulder, chest, and jaw.

  • Moody and Monk Lore
    DEBORAH SAMSON Written by Deborah's 3rd Great Granddaughter Pauline Moody Late in October 1783, a youthful figure in an Army uniform sailed down the Hudson River in a sloop of war, took a packet to Providence, and then started to walk to Stoughton. That figure was Deborah Samson. At West Point she had just been honorably discharged from the 4th Massachusetts Regiment by General Henry Knox, and commended by her officers for her bravery and good conduct while serving some seventeen months as a foot soldier in the American Revolution under the name of Robert Shurtlieff's. Homeless the sturdy Deborah headed for the Cape Cod cottage of her aunt Alice Waters and Husband Zebulon in the Dry Pond section of Stoughton which was later annexed to Sharon. As the young woman strode along –she was almost twenty three— she must have wondered how she would be received where ever she went. She had joined the Army , leaving no clue for her mother and sisters and brothers in Plimpton of for the Thomas family in Middleborough, with whom she had lived eight years as an indentured servant. Certainly it never entered the thoughts of a tall Deborah—she was five feet seven and one half inches when the average height of men was five feet four and of women four feet nine—that in two hundred years she would be unique in United States history as a forerunner of something called Women’s lib. The story has come down that the Stoughton relatives accepted Deborah’s statement that she was her brothers Ephraim (also a soldier in the Revolution) and soon she was working on their farm.
