Colonial America Primary Sources are just what teachers need to help students learn how to analyze primary sources in order to meet Common Core State Standards!
Students participate in active learning by creating their own interpretations of history using historical documents. Students make observations, generate questions, organize information and ideas, think analytically, write persuasively or informatively, and cite evidence to support their opinion, hypotheses, and conclusions. Students learn how to integrate and evaluate information to deepen their understanding of historical events. As a result, students experience a more relevant and meaningful learning experience.

Category Description for Primary Source Series
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
