Classroom connection: primary-source power!

Becca Horowitz

Thank you for joining us to practice an approach to sourcing that engages students in critical thinking. Bridgette OConnor shared tools for analyzing sources: check out the Sourcing (HAPPY) Tool and the Quick-Sourcing Tool.
We'd love to hear your thinking and your takeaways!
  • What's the power of teaching with primary sources?
  • How do you get students to dig into sourcing?
  • What are any challenges you notice students struggling with when analyzing primary sources?
Chime in with your ideas, tools, approaches, and questions to fellow teachers. Bonus points for sharing student work (anonymized, of course!).

    Thank you all so much for coming to our primary sources session. Here are the inoculation sources we chatted about.

    George Washington's letter on inoculating the troops: 

    The Mount Vernon site has the letter scanned, which would be cool to show students and it also has a transcript tab: https://www.mountvernon.org/education/primary-source-collections/primary-source-collections/article/smallpox-inoculation-letter 

    The National Archives also has it on their site: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/03-08-02-0281 

    Then, the Adams' letters are here: https://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/archive/doc?id=L17760713aa 

    And also on the National Archives site: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Adams/04-01-02-0023 

    Looking forward to reading all your sourcing tips!
