Creating Your Own RLAH Lesson

One of the assignments for teacher participants of the Voices of America Teaching American History Grant Program was the create a Reading Like a Historian Style Lesson.  We created a template that outlines the major parts of a RLAH lesson, lesson study procedures, fine-tuning protocol, and rubric to help the teachers develop a lesson for their classes.
