What educators are saying

I was very satisfied with this resource. I used it to help students review different concepts that they would see again.

Description

Analyzing Primary Sources Introduction Activity

Use this activity to teach students the basic skills and practices for analyzing primary sources in a Social Studies class. This guide helps students to identify primary sources, investigate them for content, and apply questions about the source for bias or integrity.

Includes:

Student Reading on Primary Sources and Analysis

Student Handouts

5 Primary Sources for Analysis Practice

Wrap-Up Questions to overview the activity with the whole class

This would be an excellent Back to School activity to help introduce the skill or review it from the summer break!

An answer key is not included since individual student answers will (and should) vary.

This activity is also part of my Introduction to Ancient World History Complete Unit.
