a Teaching American History project

The history of steel mills in Ohio is an intriguing subject.  There are countless stories out there about families members who have worked in the mills.  Steel Mills are part of Ohio’s history and no lesson on the history of Ohio would be complete without the acknowlegement about the Mills’ past, present and future.  I will include the teaching of steel mills in my history classes as an integrated part of  Ohio’s history. Whats even more fascinating is the population of students I teach lives around the Arcelor Mittal Steel Mills.  It would be interesting to hear the stories that have been pass down to the students through family ties, union members, neighbors, and friends.
