Terra US History Framework DRAFT—5-21-08
US History Framework: Illuminate History with American Art, Poems and Songs, Primary Sources
Developed by John Curtin
Draft sequence of quarter-by-quarter content/chronology
The following outlines are preliminary and have been prepared to align with the new Social Science framework that is in development by CPS. It is an example of a way to relate American art and American history to the documents and literature of different time periods.
Themes
▪ There is one general Theme: American Identities
▪ Teachers will identify their own Theme for each quarter or unit within the quarter.
▪ Teachers will design lesson plans to develop that Theme.
American Art
▪ Use works of art identified through the Terra Teacher Lab for the time period you are teaching.
Relevant Resources
▪ Primary sources include: letters, speeches, other documents—from American Memory and other sources.
▪ Resources, including poems and songs, have been collected as examples. Teachers will expand the resource lists.
▪ The framework includes links to websites that teachers can use to collect additional relevant sources.
Resource Connections
▪ Art Institute of Chicago,
▪ History Matters,
▪ Library of Congress, American Memory,
▪ Terra Foundation for American Art,
