Engaging elementary students with primary resources

The Fall 2010 issue of Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Quarterly is now available. The focus of this issue is how teachers can use primary resources—original documents, photographs, music, film, clothing, and other artifacts which were created at the time under study—to engage students in grades K-5. Primary resources are useful in engaging younger students, and helping them to develop new knowledge and critical thinking skills. This issue of TPS Quarterly details strategies and activities for teachers to incorporate primary research into their classrooms. To view this issue, visit the TPS Quarterly
