Teaching Students: "What Are Primary Sources?"

I recommend " If Pictures Could Talk, If Walls Could Whisper: Revolutionary Practices that Engage Students in History ," a slideshow presentation delivered by Delise Sanders at the National Council for History Education Conference in 2008. The conference slides introduce teachers to methods for helping students develop an understanding of an appreciation for primary sources. Using many student-made and literature-based examples, Sanders suggests starting with student projects focusing on their own lives, moving toward local history, and eventually studying broader national historical topics.
