    In preparation for our third on-line colloquium in which we will be discussing the Relationship of Global to U.S. Agriculture as part of our continuing series on Change and Development in Rural America, our presenters (Dr. Tore Olsson from the University of Tennessee will be the historian delivering the content, and he will be joined by Rory Dunn, our education specialist, and Kate Van Haren, our master teacher) have selected the following sources as a preview: 

    After reviewing these sources, please share your thoughts with the members of this group. 

    All members of this community feel free to join in on the discussion.

    I love using music in the classroom as primary sources. It helps students see things from diverse perspectives and is usually a surprise to my middle schoolers that there is actual historical meaning behind lyrics! Music also helps to get more buy in from students because it is something different from the norm. It is interesting to see what deeper level questions they start to ask and research about other topics once they see the significance of a type of source they may have not considered before.
