description: Thirteen units focus on controversies surrounding such figures as Columbus, Andrew Jackson, Harriet Tubman, Sitting Bull, and Gloria Steinem. Students read a short background article, then study primary and secondary sources to answer questions. They can hold a mock trial of the person with charges, witness lists, and forms provided. Drawn from all eras and representing a wide range of men and women, the documents include speeches, letters, diaries, memoirs, news accounts, laws, official papers, and literary excerpts. Grades 912.
