Primary Sources packs stimulate higher-order thinking, analysis, and consideration of mutliple points of view by students.
The Primary Sources series is the winner of the 2015 Academics' Choice Awards for the 2015 Smart Book Award in recognition of mind-building excellence. The Cold War documents include : Berlin Airlift, the Rosenbergs, Castro, Project Mercury, Cuban Missile Crisis and many more critical events. This "enrichment pack" style resource empowers students to make observations, generate questions, organize informaton, think analytically and cite evident to support their conclusions. Each pack includes historical documents, maps, photographs, political cartoons, lithographs, diagrams, letters in a mix of color and black-and-white, and sepia finishes. Each primary resource is printed on sturdy 8.5" X 11" cardstock.What a great complement to your history lessons! Each pack has 20 8.5"x11" card-stock images of maps, photographs, illustrations, original documents & letters, political cartoons and more that you can use in a variety of ways: research or reference; gallery walks or literary analysis; reinforcing the Common Core skills of critical thinking, analysis, point of view, compare/contrast, and sequencing events; add them to a timeline project. A couple of the images were hard to read since they are photos of the original, but that was because the print was small on the document (the Texas Declaration of Independence from the Westward Expansion packet.) Many of the documents are black and white while photos of paintings are in color. You could laminate these or put them in plastic sleeves in a binder for reference too. So many applications for students in a homeschool environment, co-op, or traditional classroom. Check out the item numbers below on our website for a complete list of what is included in each packet. Some packets hold a more diverse collection while others include predominantly photographs. ~ Sara
