America's History through Young Voices contains primary sources written by young people from twelve periods of American history. The history presented here is of ordinary people, not that of empire-builders, kings, and presidents. The diaries, letters, and essays are narratives, thus engaging students in the story of history. Specific instructional strategies were developed for each of the primary sources based upon the five categories of historical thinking skills. Teachers thus have both the primary source (content) and instructional activities (skills) for use in the classroom. Chapter One presents a general introduction to historical sources. This book is intended for teachers and students in elementary, middle, or secondary social studies who wish to emphasize the teaching and learning of American history using primary sources.

This exciting new resource makes a dramatic case for the use of primary source documents to motivate students and bring history alive.
Richard Wyman combines an engaging selection of diaries, letters, and essays with thoughtful teaching strategies designed to meet the needs of both pre-service and in-service teachers. America's History through Young Voices offers teachers both the content (primary sources) and skills (instructional activities) they'll need to incorporate the use of first-person narrative in the classroom. Wyman begins by offering a general introduction to primary sources, giving attention to the National Standards for History and especially to standards dealing with the five categories of historical thinking skills. Designed to help teachers foster active, engaged learning, this book conveys the immediacy of historical study through primary sources.
“I believe that any of the secondary social studies teachers of my district... would find America's History through Young Voices an ideal vehicle for addressing the critical subject of primary source documentation. I would certainly consider it for adoption and professional use.”
―Vaughn Dailey, Peters Township Middle School
“The author provides an excellent introduction to the source material. These introductions will be particularly helpful for the students to gain an historical sense of the time period and source material to be evaluated.”
―Keith Emmerling, Thomas Jefferson High School
