INTRODUCTION The purpose of this manual is to aid teachers using Mark C. Carnes and John A. Garraty’s The American Nation as the basic text in survey courses. For each of the 32 chapters, the Instructor’s Manual provides these features: Chapter Overview: A summary of each section of the chapter divided by the same headings used in the text. Points for Mastery: Main points covered by the text that students should master. Converted into question form, these may be used as essay questions. Points for Further Discussion: Questions that go beyond the material presented in the text. Students should be able to answer these questions based on the information in the text, even though the answer is not specifically found in the text itself. Lecture Supplement: Brief essays providing information on topics either mentioned in the text and not developed or on topics related to information included in the text. They are designed to supplement lectures or to be developed into full lectures themselves. Toward the latter end, each lecture supplement includes a bibliography. Many of the topics included in the lecture supplements are designed to go beyond the subjects covered in the text; some present different interpretations from those found in the text. Documents: Two or more documents relating to a single topic. The documents are introduced and put into context in a brief introductory section. Like the lecture topics, the document sections are designed to take students and teachers beyond the subjects covered in the text or to amplify subjects included in the text. Each packet of documents includes a set of questions designed to focus attention on the main issues presented by the documents. Many of the document packets focus on the experiences of ordinary people, minorities, family issues, gender issues, and related topics. These documents can be used as classroom exercises, as essay assignments, as take-home exams, as lecture supplements, or as the basis for full lectures. The introductory passage contains bibliographical references to aid in the use of developing these document packets into lectures. The Instructor’s Manual has been designed to meet the needs of both the novice and the more experienced instructor. Beginning instructors often need lecture material more than anything else. Not only do the lecture supplements provide this, but the document packets are designed to help in this regard as well. More experienced instructors may be less familiar with some of the subjects covered in the lecture supplements and documents packets. These sections provide the means to incorporate new material into lectures or to develop lectures on new topics. More experienced instructors may also wish to use the documents as means of testing students’ analytical skills or presenting issues to students in new ways. In any case, the Instructor’s Manual is designed to provide additional information and to amplify the material found in the text. It also intends to suggest different ways of approaching the material in survey courses. Michael S. Mayer
