Overview

Enrich student engagement and deepen learning with this guide to foolproof techniques and strategies to integrate primary sources and literature to benefit learners from kindergarten through high school. Readers of all ages experience literature in a different light when historical context is provided via primary sources. Literature, meanwhile, helps learners to uncover additional layers of meaning inherent in primary sources. Guided by best practices developed by the authors over years of working with both students and teachers, this book speaks to the countless opportunities for instructors to integrate related primary sources with the literature that students read in school classrooms—from historical fiction and poetry to graphic novels.
