The objective of this course is to introduce and assist teachers in using primary sources in their classrooms. This course emphasizes the analytical and interpretive approach by using documents, artwork, current events, and various levels of literature to help enhance history and English curriculum. This methodology helps students develop critical thinking skills by analyzing the who, what, and why of the sources used. There is a focus on how the selected works impacted society, who the intended audience was, and what effects the documents had in general. The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks will be used as a guideline; required topics will be covered. Common Core Standards for Language Arts and History/Social Science will also be introduced. Teachers will be able to develop lessons that they may use in their classrooms.
