Picture Books and Primary Sources: Oscar's American Dream by Barry Wittenstein and Kris... - 0 views

  •  
    "Picture Books as an Introduction to a Primary Source Activity In some other picture book and primary source pairings, the picture book provides contextual understanding of an event or a person. In this instance, there is not a single event that Wittenstein and Howdeshell's book focuses on. Instead, the passage of time is a driving factor in the story." Based on the book Oscar's American Dream.

Picture Books and Primary Sources: Wood, Wire, Wings: Emma Lilian Todd Invents an Airpl... - 0 views

  •  
    "Often I suggest we bring historically based picture books into student learning to explore history. So many titles are rich entry points for moments and individuals from the past. Another approach though is to use these narratives to explore the author as a researcher. How do authors gather background about individuals and events? How does that process help define the story?"
