During this session at the North Carolina Council for the Social Studies conference, we’ll explore the student readings, lessons, and videos found in both the History, Revolution, and Reform: New Directions for Cuba curriculum and the Brazil: A History of Change curriculum. We’ll discuss ways you can incorporate them, in whole or in part, into your courses. Each curriculum is about 10-15 days in length and is appropriate for middle and high school classrooms.
