Do you have time to answer two questions about your experience today? We’d love to hear your feedback as we strive to make our website more useful and usable.
This section of the Library of Congress website includes information and teacher guides for how to teach with primary sources. The Library of Congress has also created classroom materials for teaching with primary sources. These materials include both primary sources and instructional resources to help teachers plan for how to use them. There are sets of primary sources related to specific topics and events, lesson plans created by teachers, and online activities for teachers and students. In addition to the classroom materials, teachers may find the online professional development modules especially helpful.
