Primary/Secondary Sources Drawing: 5th Grade Studies Weekly Week 2
By Colleen Burdette
Students recognize the difference between primary and secondary sources:
This activity will help students practice determining primary and secondary sources. This skill is important across a variety of subjects.
When given a source, students will determine if it is a primary or secondary source. Based on their determination, they will be directed to draw a detail to complete a picture. This allows students to add their own creativity to their work. It also makes it easy for the teacher to determine understanding of the concept presented.
Provided follow up questions increases rigor. These questions can be used for early finishers, as a written assignment, or to lead class discussion.
This activity can be used individually, with a partner, as part of a center, or with a group.
Aligns with 5th grade Studies Weekly Week 2.
