  • “'His Death Avenged!' Empowering Students As Historians To
    “‘His Death Avenged!’ Empowering Students as Historians to Understand the Chinese Experience in the American West” Mark Johnson, Concordia International School Shanghai This lesson was created for “The Richest Hills: Mining in the Far West, 1865–1920,” sponsored by the Montana Historical Society and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities Landmarks of American History and Culture: Workshops for Schoolteachers. Background for Teachers: For a detailed background of the history needed to teach this lesson and the progress of the lesson itself, see Mark Johnson, “‘His Death Avenged!’: Empowering Students as Historians on a Global Scale,” Organization of American Historians Magazine of History, Vol. 26, Issue 3, pp. 25-32 (available online at http://maghis.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/3/25.full). Grade Level: Grades 11-12 Subject(s): American History/Advanced Placement U.S. History Description: I believe that the ultimate goal of history education should not be memorization and fact-based recall, but rather using historical inquiry to promote critical thinking, problem solving, and synthesis. This mini-unit uses an inquiry-based approach, empowering students as historians by giving them access to a myriad of primary sources, asking them to analyze and interpret these sources, and develop interpretive hypotheses supported by historical evidence. With students engaged as historians, contextual knowledge of the time period will be more immediately relevant to their understanding, thus more applicable and memorable. This lesson is designed to do two things. First, by using an engaging murder-mystery from 1870, students will use an inquiry-based approach to develop and use critical thinking, problem solving, and higher-order thinking skills to: • Analyze primary and secondary sources; • Formulate historical questions; • Interrogate historical data; • Develop hypotheses about the events of the past supported by historical evidence and analysis.
