Recent advances in technology have created easy access for
classroom teachers and students alike to a vast store of primary
sources. This fact accompanied by the growing emphasis on primary
documents through education reform movements has created a need for
active approaches to learning from such sources. Unpuzzling History
with Primary Sources addresses this need. It looks at the role that
primary sources can play in a social studies curriculum in the 21st
century. Each chapter deals with a different aspect of teaching
primary sources. Each chapter includes a discussion of key issues,
model activities, and resources for upper elementary through high
school teachers. A model lesson plan also appears at the end of
most chapters. Chapter one presents a unique perspective on the
nature of history and primary sources. This is followed by chapters
on how historical thinking and inquiry relate to primary sources.
Other chapters deal with individual types of primary sources. A
glance at the table of contents will certainly draw the teacher's
interest regardless of teaching style. The skills that students
gain from working with primary sources prepare them for the many
responsibilities and duties of being a citizen in a democracy.
Therefore, the book closes with a chapter pointing to the
relationship of primary sources to citizenship education. This book
will be useful as a resource for teachers and might serve as a text
for in?service, college methods courses, and school libraries. All
four authors have experience in the K?12 classroom as well as
social studies teacher education.
