    From Corn Chips to Garbology: The Dynamics of Historical Inquiry

    What can corn chips teach us about history? Quite a bit

    as participants learned at a History Education Clearinghouse workshop at the 2011 American Historical Association annual meeting. Upon arriving for the workshop

    we found sandwich baggies filled with golden-brown chips on every seat. Historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich and Harvard Project Zero director Shari Tishman used the chips as artifacts to lead the participants through a See/Think/Wonder exercise. They provided a thinking routine that provokes inquiry about artifacts—even the mundane corn chip—that is useful for learners of all ages (Figure 1). By encouraging detailed observation and turning the ordinary into a voyage of exploration

    See/Think/Wonder teases out many historical questions and connections: from corn planters and pickers to ethnobotany and the history of cooking

    from African American work songs to Native American creation stories

    from agribusiness to manufacturing to ethanol (1).

    From Corn Chips to Garbology: The Dynamics of Historical Inquiry

    Professional development series for teachers of grades 4 - 12. Focus on the 100th anniversary of the Ludlow Massacre by using newspapers and primary sources to examine the event from multiple points of view. Through exploration of the 1914 incident

    participants will learn to critically evaluate the influences of a variety of media and develop informed ideas about the role of immigration

    multiculturalism

    unions and labor relations during the time of Ludlow and compare it with our society today.
