I just added a link to a Teaching Tolerance (Southern Poverty Law Center) lesson called "What Counts as History?" - as you'll see, it speaks to ensuring that all voices/histories are included and has implications for teaching about disability/politics of disability and social history of disability integrated with the whole of common/shared experiences in the histories of Americans (in this case, U.S. History) - here's an intro:
* Level: Grades 6 to 8, 9-12
* Subject: Reading and Language Arts, Social Studies, ELL / ESL
This lesson asks students to think about what counts as history. It is divided into two parts. Part 1 gets students thinking about what’s included in the history they study, and what’s missing. Part 1 can stand alone as a complete lesson. Part 2 extends the project. In it, they compare how a U.S. history book and an African-American history book address the same time period. They also reflect on how including new groups alters the study of history...
