    Inspired by the Library of Congress Primary/Secondary Source Sort Lesson.

    This lesson focuses on resources related to Native Americans in general and Seminole Indians in particular.  The full lesson plan is too big to post as one Album Item, so I have posted the 10 pictures for analysis first and a pdf of the lesson plan (with additional options) at the end.

    Interested in making a SORT for your own topic?

    For a good variety of resources, follow the categories in the lesson plan and search Google.  In your search include site:loc.gov for Library of Congress Resources.
