Teaching with Primary Sources

1. Word for the day - Tailgating 

• What does "Tailgating" mean?

             - Tailgating on the highway
             - Pickup Truck Tailgate
             - College Football Stadiums  
             - America's "favorite pastime"
             - University of Central Florida

2. Discuss the Leaving Evidence of Our Lives (PDB) lesson and determine what are primary and secondary sources?

3. Together, let's define primary and secondary sources.

• What are primary and secondary sources?
  • Make a two column list.
  • Create a list.
  • Revisit your list of primary and secondary sources (modify, add, etc.) - Tertiary Sources​

​

• ALWAYS REMEMBER - "What is your question?"

4. Analyzing Sources with Novice Level Students

• Library of Congress - Primary Sources Analysis Tool and Teacher's Guides to Analysis

5. Analyzing Photographs 

• Primary Sources Analysis Tool
• Image (Bibliographic Information)
• Image 2 (Bibliographic Information)

• Non-example image and bibliographic information (too much context necessary to truly understand - I went to browse the photographs and prints and this was the first result)

• Sourcing
• Contextualization
• Close Reading
