Key quotes and ideas related
to your wondering
Students are engaging with
Primary Sources in an online
environment. Will work well
with my Social Studies
stations.
Learning in centers, requires
both self-management and
relationship skills to
effectively engage with other
students and the material.
This article talks about using
primary sources in social
studies learning. Would like
to see how these sources
work with my students.
Ideas for taking action in your
classroom
I am thinking of
implementing primary
sources this way by using a
near pod. That would create a
virtual environment for
students to interact with
primary sources.
In addition to providing
content for the centers, it is
important to scaffold my
students to ensure that they
gain these important skills as
well, not only to help them
during centers, but to help
them in life.
I would love to figure out
how to include primary
sources in my social studies
stations, and I am interested
to see how my little ones
interact with these sources
and what connections they
can make.
