By incorporating both primary and secondary sources into lessons, educators can significantly enhance students' critical thinking, literacy, and historical comprehension. We will delve into practical strategies for selecting, analyzing, and integrating documents into various learning activities. Additionally, we will share real-world examples of how this approach has led to improved student performance in both social studies and English Language Arts. This session will provide participants with the tools and knowledge to implement effective document-based learning in their classrooms.
