Introduction                   Purpose and Goal

 

Primary Sources    

What are they?

How can we use them with students to enhance their learning?

Primary Sources explained - Cold War

 

               

 

Why Primary Sources?

 

    • Develop critical thinking skills - reading and examining documents and objects, analyzing moves from concrete observations & facts to inferences/questioning.

 

    • Construct knowledge  - form reasoned conclusions, base conclusions on real evidence - make connections from sources to context 

 

    •  What content area would you use Primary Sources? Is this limited? 

 

 

Activity One

  • ·         Using Photographs & Documents – Analyze and share
    • What's up? What is the theme or topic? 
    • What is it about?   
    • What evidence does it provide? 
    • Why do we care?  
    • Time period? 
    • Is the photograph a historical representation? Why? 
    • Divide the photograph into several sections and make a list of objects. 
    • Look at the individuals, groups, etc. 
    • What about the landscape?  
    • What do you wonder about? What are your questions?  
    • Example lesson 

Activity Two
