ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills

This collection of resources includes best practice articles, primary source process guides, lesson plans that model historical inquiry, and book-length materials that incorporate primary sources.


When used effectively, primary sources can open a world of possibilities in the classroom. When students have opportunities to approach sources as historians do, history becomes an art and a mystery — rather than a series of lifeless facts. This collection of materials offers ideas for integrating primary sources into your teaching, shares best practices, models the process of historical inquiry, and provides a selection of exemplary lesson plans.
