Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Utopian Communities: European Roots, American Realities by Peter N. Herndon Contents of Curriculum Unit 87.02.06: Narrative I. Unit Objectives II. Unit Summary and Strategies III. Sample Lesson Plans ... To Guide Entry Introduction . This curriculum unit is designed for ninth-grade World History students; it is intended to take up ten to fifteen class periods. One goal of this project is to increase students’ awareness and interest in the practical idealism of men and women of the past. From its inception, America has been pictured as the “promised land.” Any road map reveals the idealistic aspirations of the founders of such places as Jerusalem Corners, New York, or Promise City, Iowa. Freeway exits in the Golden State reveal places such as Elysian Valley and Arcadia. New Hope, Pennsylvania, and Eden, Virginia as well as our own New Haven, Connecticut reflect Columbus’ claim to have discovered a “new heaven” and a “new earth.” There is an image of paradise illustrated in Puritan sermons, early corporate towns and land speculators’ maps. This project is about dedicated idealists who regarded the New World as a potential paradise, and who believed that this potential could best be realized through collective organization. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries several hundred groups planned and set up model communities in the United States. The approaches were as diverse as they were imaginative; the problems to overcome were immense. The standards for success varied with the experiment. Nathaniel Hawthorne, who lived at the Brook Farm community, provides one statement of purpose:

Holt, University of Virginia Biography: A Life in Brief At the time he became President, Zachary Taylor was the most popular man in America, a hero of the Mexican-American War. However, at a time when Americans were confronting the explosive issue of slavery, he was probably not the right man for the job. Taylor was a wealthy slave owner who held properties in the plantation states of Louisiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi. During his brief time in office he died only sixteen months after his election his presidency foundered over the question of whether the national government should permit the spread of slavery to the present-day states of California, New Mexico, and Utah, then newly won from Mexico. His sudden death put Vice President Millard Fillmore into the White House, and Fillmore promptly threw his support behind the Compromise of 1850, canceling out much of the impact of Taylor's presidency.

Take a peek at my lesson plans and ideas. My first year teaching I was dying to see other teachers' plan books, but most of them were either blank or didn't seem suitable for our students ("high-risk" with poor reading skills). After teaching American history to 8th graders for a few years, I've developed this webpage in the hopes that it can help first year teachers get an idea of what to do, or help out some experienced teachers freshen up some lessons.

For those who plan ahead, the listings for any day of the year are available. Text, images, and other add-ons vary by day. Grades 5-12 - A very flexible, intriguing unit that allows students to define and trace the evolution of the "American Dream." In groups of four, students each take a different role (photographer, politician, poet, etc.) and research the American Dream from that angle (finding pictures, political events, the "soul" of the Dream, etc.). The unit has a teacher’s page, a student’s page, and a resource page to outline the lesson. On the teacher’s page, you will find many suggestions for customizing the lesson, such as restricting the scope to one particular decade or a certain theme. Conservation at a Crossroads: The Hetch Hetchy Controversy Grades 9-12 - This unit is based on the debate over damming the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park, which helped mark the evolution of the conservation movement. The unit has two parts: the first details conservation through the rationales of various historical figures, and the second outlines the case study of Hetch Hetchy. The format of the second part includes a mock hearing where students present their researched ideas. In the course of the unit, students will also compare historical ideas of conservation with current ones.
