      Great example of one of the many videos that students can watch to give them more information on a particular exhibit or artifact in the Smithsonian's collection.

    This was presented to us in class but it was one of my favorites and so I had to bookmark it. I think it would be great for showing culture, values, what was important at the time, etc. I teach Social Studies and see myself using this in every one of my classes. It could be used to compare decades as well, and see change over time.

    Great site for government class at all levels. The text and history of the documents make it an in depth study of whatever topic is picked. Our American Government teachers could make use of this site for serious sources and for preparing trivia follow up. Lots of possibilities with this site.

    Good source for periodical items that include many different topics. You can view some letters, pictures, ads, etc. All of these things can give one a view into the culture of the day. Could be a good source for some biographical information which might not be found elsewhere.

    Teachers and students are able to find and learn about Nebraska from this website. The time line makes it easy to find information in a chronological order. Photos, letters, video, maps and other formats of information is available. Fourth graders focus on Nebraska History in Social Studies, and this website offers relevant information that they can use outside of their textbooks.

  • Instead of asking whether a particular object is a primary source, it might be more useful to ask when that artifact would be a primary source.
  • When would this image be a primary source? When would it be a secondary source? Why is it important to know the difference? What could your students learn from studying this image?
  • Kelly Eby on 04 Oct 11
     
    I can really relate to this article because when I taught 5th grade, students needed to identify primary and secondary sources.  We had many discussions because this can be a confusing topic (not only for 5th graders).

    Search digital collections on this website to see all sorts of print, radio, and TV ads for various companies such as Kodak, Palmolive, Pullman, and Coca Cola. I think that social studies teachers would use this site quite a bit when studying certain eras or when looking to compare the past with the present. There are also propaganda posters from different time periods that could be used when studying U.S. and world history.

    The Truman Library provides some great lessons and primary documents for elementary to secondary students. Various documents can be found including cartoons, audio clips, print resources, and photographs. A chronology of events during Truman's presidency highlights his contributions to history. Great for history or government classes to explore.

    This website is a great resource for students looking for information about the Holocaust. Besides their own archive of Holocaust material, they have links to several other sites which also have primary archival material. This would be a great palce for students to use for their senior Holocaust projects.

    I had to send this straight to 5th grade teachers in our district.  What a fun and valuable way to teach the difference between primary and secondary sources.  This is a clear and concise teaching of a topic that is very difficult for some students to comprehend.
