Volunteer Voices: Teaching Tennessee History Volume Viii [Pdf]

The East Tennessee Historical Society (ETHS) presented its ninth Teachers History Institute on June 4-8, 2007. It was funded by Humanities Tennessee and Mrs. B.W. Grimes. Taking as its theme "Voices of Opportunity: Industrialization Comes to Tennessee," the program consisted of an intense, in-service series of lectures by experts in a number of areas of scholarship and interpretation, tours, and hands-on experiences at historic sites in the area.The editor has revised the lesson plans developed by the Teachers History Institute participants. The lesson plans were revised to make them uniform so all the lessons have comparable components and can be used with a broad range of students.
