Read a sample Read a sample
Hands-on History: Primary Source Exercises for Middle School and High School Classrooms consists of twenty primary-source-based classroom exercises. Each exercise consists of an original (primary) source, a set of questions that guides students to an understanding of the source, and an extended exercise in which students apply the lessons of the source in a larger context. Questions are designed to move students from lower-level (facts and dates) to higher-level (analysis and synthesis) thinking. Each of the twenty lessons requires writing as part of the exercise. All exercises are based on the Colorado State Standards in History and Language Arts. Some also pertain to standards in Geography, Economics, and Political Science. Although the exercises utilize local primary sources, Hands-on History... provides a set of teacher-created, ready-made, primary-source-based exercises in United States history for use in classrooms across the nation.
