Overview This class applies an inquiry-learning model using primary sources available through the Library of Congress website. The LOC has digitized over 19 million primary sources to bring learners the raw materials of U.S. society and culture spanning more than 200 years. Crossing multiple disciplinary areas, these sources inspire curiosity, prompt interesting questions, and support investigations of these questions—thereby creating conditions that promote deeper thinking and understanding.
Presenters: Peggy O'Neill-Jones, oneilljp@mscd.edu; Mary Johnson, johnsonmaryj@mac.com

First, a million thank yous for the conference this week at the 6th Floor Museum. I have used your site many, many time -- even found the bulk of my research for a graduate paper on Abraham Lincoln from your site a couple of years ago. But this week I learned to use it as a teacher and I am so excited to get to work on this. I am especially eager to make weekly ARS pages for my students and fellow teachers as we strive to move from the textbook to documents and readings. Thank you for getting me further along on that path. Additionally I intend to apply for one of your grants. I would love for you all to come to Austin and work with our teachers. If you can let me know where to find additional information on that, I would appreciate it. So have not doubt, I will be using much of the material from this week's PD, and referring often to your WIKI and resources. Thank you again. Beth Hudson, Austin (hudsonbeth@sbcglobal.net)

Thank you, Keith. I have looked it over and visited with our Social Studies Administrator. I want to be clear about who conducts these workshops. Would one of your professionals in the Colorado office come to our city to lead the training? We are interested in pursuing this. Thank you again.

Beth,
We can send one of our trainers down to work with your group. I'll send you an email directly so we can talk about next steps.

There is a nice story in the Dallas Morning News today but those of us who are not subscribers, especially if we don't live in Dallas, don't have access to it online. It will only allow us to see the first line and to see more we have to pay $12 a month to subscribe online. If anyone can get the full link and put it here, then we could all enjoy it! Thanks. Beth Hudson

I am already putting together a presentation to show my department what I have learned at the Sixth Floor Museum Teaching with Primary Sources Institute. Unfortunately, my flash drive y'all gave us decided to not work at all. I cannot pull up anything from it. I also attended a round table of other IB History of the Americas instructors and showed them the ARS. They loved it! We all thought it was a good idea to teach our students to use them for their internal assessment paper and external essay that they have to complete to earn their diplomas. I can't wait for my copy of the map y'all showed us. It was magnificent. Thank you Peggy and Mary for coming to Texas. I too plan on applying for the grant! Hugs, Poppy

I believe I might be on here twice, as hudsonbeth@sbcglobal.net, and as ehudson@austinisd.org. They are both Beth Hudson. I have been creating Annotated Resource Sets with me preAP classes and now am beginning to work with these with my regular classes. They are catching on and it is helping us create some marvelous reading strategies.

Really enjoying what I've been able to use from the institute. Utilized some of the images and techniques we used for the McKinley Assassination. Even worked some of my resources into an existing lesson about collective memory in my Psychology class. It encourages students to interview relatives about the JFK assassination. Then brainstorm together about an event their lifetime and anticipate what they think will be remembered about the event, forgotten about the event, what should be remembered but won't be, etc.
