Classroom connection: primary-source power!

Becca Horowitz
Thank you for joining us to practice an approach to sourcing that engages students in critical thinking.  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!).

  • I really appreciated the workshop as well, just to brush up on how to approach sourcing, since it's still one that my students struggle with.  They mostly have the rudimentary skills around it, and I want to try to level up their analysis.  The Quick Sourcing Tools is where they are at. 

    I'm going to try the highlighting soon - that is something I haven't done yet. What are your best strategies to scaffold up their Sourcing Analysis?  Is it just practice? Do you use other strategies besides HAPP-Y?
