When thinking about literacy and how to engage students in literacy-rich lessons, it is oftentimes difficult to conceptualize how to integrate these practices with primary sources. However, as many of you know, primary sources help to enrich lessons and promote a more skilled and literate classroom. I found this article, Using Primary Sources in Content Areas to Increase Disciplinary Literacy Instruction. I especially recommend you look at pages 7&8, which gives some great suggestions on new activities you can use with students! Over the next couple of weeks, I hope to incorporate many of these activities into my posts, as it's important that while primary sources are excellent resources for learning about history, they are also helping to contribute to a more literate world!
