Visuals Make the Difference!
You open your social studies textbook and discover your next lesson is about primary and secondary sources.
::Insert cringe::
Obviously, you’re not alone. Not only is this a tricky concept for elementary learners, but most textbooks also choose to present it in the most boring way possible.
That is, if you even have a curriculum that goes over this content with more than a sentence or two.
It’s time to answer the age-old question: “How do I make primary and secondary sources interesting?”
Let's Get Visuals, Vis-u-als!
Our students are multisensory learners. It’s not enough to just read about a topic. They need to be fully immersed in it.
One way to help? Lots and lots of visuals.
When you add these posters featuring the most important primary and secondary sources to your classroom walls, your students will:
- develop a natural curiosity about the different types of sources
- begin to notice primary and secondary sources in their daily lives
- improve their critical thinking skills by making connections between the types of sources
These Posters Can:
Support Your Whole Group Lesson
Encourage Class Discussion
Get Students to Look for Sources in the Classroom!
Also included: 3 “Think About It” prompts that will have your students USING this new visual display and thinking critically!
