  18. Why Use Primary Sources Primary sources provide a window into the past……unfiltered access to the record of artistic, social, scientific and political thought and achievement during the specific period under study, produced by people who lived during that period. Education Outreach www.loc.gov/teachers/

  19. Bringing young people into close contact with these unique, often profoundly personal, documents and objects can give them a very real sense of what it was like to be alive during a long-past era. Education Outreach www.loc.gov/teachers/

  20. Why Use Primary Sources • Engage Learners • Relate • Encourage research • Make events real • Develop Critical Thinking • State standards support critical analysis • Often incomplete, no context • Analysis process: observations to making inferences • Question bias, purpose, point of view • Construct Knowledge • Confront complexity of past • Form reasoned conclusions based on evidence • Construct content knowledge from process Education Outreach www.loc.gov/teachers/
