Welcome to Mr. Tredinnick's Minnesota History Course

Picture
This upper-level high school survey course was designed, but never taught. Individual lessons have been used in a number of practicum lessons during my pre-service teacher training. What is included below is the entirety of my senior level social studies methods curriculum development project. I'm hoping that these resources might be helpful to anyone looking to develop a course of their own, or wishing to incorporate materials about Minnesota into their own lessons. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, I would love to help in any way towards the inclusion of more local historic connections in the teaching of history.
     Good luck!
