Write a brief summary of how the curriculum has developed over the last 300 years. Describe some of the debates that have occurred over time. In what ways were the debates in the past similar to those heard today about what should be taught in schools?” The brief summary should be in one paragraph that is no more than 8 sentences long. The description of the debates should be in a second paragraph that is not more than 6 sentences long.
 * Alternative: create a timeline using [|dipity.com] or [|capzles.com] or other software of your choice that includes 8-10 important events that capture the essence of the chapter. Write 1 complete and powerful sentence for each event that describes that event and how it fits in the larger picture of the history of education (as defined by this chapter).
