Primary and Secondary Source Activity Description:
Students learn to identify and differentiate between primary and secondary sources in this engaging virtual scavenger hunt activity. Students answer 16 questions about the 1963 March on Washington using documents hidden throughout a virtual (bitmoji-style) library. Over 20 documents are hidden in the library's three virtual rooms. Some questions have more than one correct answer.
This resource includes 4 slides with hyperlinks to over 20 documents (both primary and secondary), a link to a Quizlet list on primary and secondary sources, and an optional quiz focusing on the 1963 March on Washington. Finally, this resource includes a visually appealing "gameboard-style" slide with questions and space for recording answers.
This activity is perfect for distance learning. It can be shared with students in a Google Classroom, or the activity link can be shared with students via email, etc. When students finish the activity, they can send the completed Google Slide Deck back to their teacher to grade.
This activity would be appropriate for History teachers introducing or reviewing primary and secondary sources at the middle or high school level. This would also be an appropriate activity in a Civil Rights unit or when teaching the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
