You also might look at the readers that publishers will let you put together IF you can't find what you need already available online (given that I am not familiar with your subject area). Modeling is still the best starting point - from there, teaching is still an art ;-)Kelly in Kansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345236866213138914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671815.post-66765241910705557542010-11-19T13:58:38.068-05:002010-11-19T13:58:38.068-05:00I don't know quite whether I think it succeeds...I don't know quite whether I think it succeeds, but this seems to be what Barbara Rosenwein's and Lester Little's collection <i>Debating the Middle Ages</i> was for, and it has four themes in it of which you could pick just one (quite possibly gender as that would connect best with other periods).<br /><br />I don't think anyone knows what hermeneutics are, myself. It's a word we produce like archaeologists use 'ritual'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671815.post-13542215206308143402010-11-15T07:03:34.627-05:002010-11-15T07:03:34.627-05:00"Causes of the Civil War" has produced a..."Causes of the Civil War" has produced a literature that falls quite nicely into generations beginning with apologetics/justification by both sides in the immediate aftermath and then going through just about every fashion in late 19th and 20th century historiography.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573018242992952108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671815.post-90818957130267128632010-11-15T00:18:05.623-05:002010-11-15T00:18:05.623-05:00Well, John Tosh's collection Historians on His...Well, John Tosh's collection <i>Historians on History</i> includes multiple POVs on some of the major historiographical movements of the last century, and it's pretty well balanced in most categories. I've used it with senior undergrads with moderate success. <br /><br />I don't think I learned how to read secondary work critically until I was in grad school! I didn't do a lot of history, though, as an undergrad; outside of religion/theology, I don't remember a lot of classes where the assigned sources really engaged each other at all. The big exception? Con Law, where we were expected to write case briefs and most of them included significant minority opinions. I did have an "issues in Japanese history" book at one point, but it wasn't really all that good.Jonathan Dresnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356112719229675996noreply@blogger.com
