Document Based Activities Using Primary Sources in the Middle

Document Based Activities Using Primary Sources in the Middle Grades (Document Based Activities Grades 5 to 8) Book 1

Book 1 covers the following topics: The American Revolution, Westward Expansion And Woman Suffrage. Primary sources are records of events as described by the people who actually experienced the events. These records provide valuable first-hand information and insights into the past. Included are letters, historical documents, diaries, photos, examples of fine art, poetry, maps, posters, ads, and other artifacts that are classified as primary sources. Students often look at the study of history as merely a study of facts, dates, and events. They realize that many writings in textbooks are only the author s point of view. However, by using examples of primary sources in the classroom, history will come alive for the students. They will quickly discover the way particular people felt or reacted to a historical event or situation. Through exposure to eyewitness sources, students will change the way they regard the people and events that shaped the history of our nation. These activities implement the ELA Common Core State Standards.
