My Part of the Story: Exploring Identity in the United States - Paperback

by Facing History and Ourselves (Author)

My Part of the Story is a collection of six lessons designed to support teachers to launch a course about United States history, literature, or civic life through an examination of students' individual identities.

Throughout the unit, students read and discuss primary and secondary texts, watch videos, and create visual representations of identity. These activities are meant to develop their understanding of how we all become who we are and how we all contribute, in different ways, to our national context.

Empower students to develop their own voices in both the classroom and the world at large and engage them in a study of the United States by showing them that their voices are integral to the story of the country.
