Project Based Learning in Real World U.S. History Classrooms demonstrates how a project based learning approach can enrich and enliven the learning and teaching of U.S. history for middle and secondary level students.

It offers rich, pedagogically innovative, and academically rigorous project based learning units that can help students connect with and deeply understand key events and trends in U.S. history. For each major topic that is covered in U.S. history classrooms, this volume shows how rich historical material can be made accessible and exciting to a wide range of student learners using projects that engage them critically, imaginatively, and analytically.

This book is essential reading for pre-service and practicing teachers in Social Studies Education, History Education, and Secondary Education.
