Globalizing US History Resource Modules

There are currently 11 modules for the U.S. History in a Global Context project. Each module contains:

background information
essentials questions
primary sources
secondary sources
inquiry modules from the C3 framework,
unique scholar presentations

Additionally, each module has an overview statement and suggested essential questions which frames the topic in a global perspective. The overview statement is designed to support teachers as they elect to broaden the context of a topic which is often taught in a traditional national narrative.
