THE BOOK-Sucheng Chan and Spencer Olin, ed.

Then, discuss what sort of primary sources you might adapt—for example, photographs, newspapers, documentaries, etc. Finally, given the current addition of ethnic studies to California state standards, discuss how you might approach teaching this in the classroom and use it to expand diversity in education for students learning California history in K-12 classrooms.
