source problems for his students at the University of
California Davis. The History Project gathers these
lessons here and continues to build on Marchand's model.
Each assignment encourages students apply their analytical

deduce and explain events from the past. Each has also
been written or adapted for use in university, high
school, and middle school classrooms.
