Exploring Social Science through Primary Sources
On January 26, K-12 teachers gathered at the UC Irvine Libraries to learn more about primary sources and their role in cultivating critical thinking skills. The workshop was offered in conjunction with the UCI History Project.
Topics included differentiating primary and secondary sources, using the 6 Cs analysis technique with students, and finding materials online for classroom activities.
What did teachers think?
- the 6 Cs graphic organizer has inspired me to use these methods in my class
- the class let me think about steps for teaching and using primary sources
- Calisphere and American Memory sites are full of wonderful resources
- the presenters broke each activity down so it was very easy to understand
Check out the resources used in the workshop, and contact us if you'd like copy of any workshop materials.
