    The albums in our Summer 2024 Institute have expanded since Week I to include a very large number of primary sources.  The topics have drawn a large number of comments from classmates, Network mentors, and members outside of our class membership.  This collaboration has added both primary sources and inquiry strategies to our Eastern Region collection here in the Network. If you are still looking for primary sources to upload to your album, consider the suggestions that Victor Salazar made recently in his post about selecting a quality primary source.

    During Week V, we want you to prepare your album for a peer review. Here are some questions you can ask yourself about your album. Let your peer reviewer know ahead of time if you need help with any of these five parts of the album.

    1. Who is the audience?
    2. What is the theme or topic?
    3. Are there different keywords that could be used to search for sources about this topic?
    4. Are there primary and/or secondary sources from the Library of Congress included?
    5. Which TPS inquiry strategies are included? Are there others to consider?

    And when you meet in the Zoom Break Out Room with one of your classmates next week, we encourage you to share these observations about their album:

    1. One gem or outstanding primary source included in this album.
    2. One question you have about the album.
    3. One opportunity for adding to this album.

         Ann Canning      There was a recent post by  Victor Salazar    https://tpsteachersnetwork.org/tps-commons/an-acronym-for-selecting-a-quality-source?cid=108474  that teachers might want to explore as they choose primary sources for their albums.

    A very good idea,   Ruth Ferris !  I'll add a note about that to the pinned announcement for Week V that will put it at the top of the Discussion Board.
