I think that primary sources could be really neat to tie into social studies lessons. For instance, you could use a journal entry recounting an event from someone as a primary source, and then learn about that event and have students write what it would be like if they lived through that event. To tie in culturally relevant pedagogy, I think it would be creative to use a journal entry from someone in history discussing a tradition or important part of their culture, and then students in the class can write their own journal entries about their own culture and an important tradition or aspect of it.

This is a resource for teachers wanting to improve their efficacy with students historically marginalized from STEM education and career pathways. Lots of great ideas for making learning relevant and engaging to diverse student populations. Siri Anderson designed it with Barb Billington from the University of MN. Spread the power of pedagogy!
