The Teaching Strategies Blog features a video from English Language Arts instructor Haley Mears, who presents a lesson that examines the differences between primary and secondary sources. Her students are given two documents about the same historical period (World War II). Through discussion and analysis, they uncover the essential differences in points of view of these two documents.
The students gain some interesting insights throughout this lesson, one of them being that primary sources aren’t always the most reliable…possibly not the conclusion they were expecting. They also get a chance to exercise their analytical abilities and work on their collaborative skills.
We thought this video would make a great resource for home educators and homeschooling students alike.
