Murphree, Daniel S. – History Teacher, 2014
Taking introductory history courses and writing analytical essays are not the favorite activities of most first-year university students.

The Better Writing Breakthrough: Connecting Student Thinking and Discussion to Inspire Great Writing
Dougherty, Eleanor; Billings, Laura; Roberts, Terry – ASCD, 2016

Edwards, Jennifer C. – History Teacher, 2015
Internet users worldwide turn to Wikipedia, the web-based, open-content encyclopedia, for basic information on all subjects.
