A Comprehensive Approach To Using Primary Sources In Elementary Curriculum Development, Michelle Raelynn Nelson

Theses Digitization Project

A teacher resource packet was created that teachers can use at the third through sixth grade levels to effectively implement the use of primary sources into their existing curriculum to promote greater historical understanding, imagination, emapthy and critical thinking. This project is intended to change teacher behaviors of teaching using an archival view of history to one that applies critical thinking and promotes in-depth student understanding of historical events.
