Teaching with Primary Resources - 45hr

INST342

Primary sources provide a window into the past—unfiltered access to the record of artistic, social, scientific, and political thought and achievement during the specific period under study, produced by people who lived during that period. Bringing young people into close contact with these unique, often profoundly personal, documents and objects from the Library of Congress can give them a very real sense of what it was like to be alive during a long-past era and can contribute to a new understanding of the present. Teaching with primary sources can facilitate student engagement, the development of critical thinking skills, and the construction of knowledge, while bringing the content to life. This course will demonstrate how teachers can help students construct knowledge, think creatively, and develop information fluency necessary for success in the 21st century through analyzing primary sources from the Library of Congress. With its rich core of over 15.3 million digitized items, including manuscripts, maps, photographs, and sound and video recordings from throughout the U.S. and the world, and its extensive teaching materials, the Library of Congress is uniquely positioned to help educators discover new strategies for building their students' capacity to think critically about the world around them. Analyzing primary source documents in the classroom with students engages them in the learning process. For the course project, learners will create a lesson plan that integrates the use of digitized primary sources from the Library of Congress. They will also implement all or part of the lesson in the classroom or with a group of students.
