This
lesson was developed as part of An
Adventure of the American Mind Northern Virginia Partnership (AAMNVA)
, a federally funded professional development program to assist
educators in using Library of Congress
primary resources to support student learning.
Our
intent was to create a vehicle for biographical research using different
American Memory resources. Thus we have selected pages from Jump
Back in Time and Meet Amazing Americans, which are
easily accessible to 4th and 5th grade students. We included analysis
of primary sources for each individual to demonstrate that pictures
can tell a story and to provide objects for the museum exhibit.
This
is a month or five week long research multimedia project involving
the classroom teacher, library media specialist, and the Instructional
Technology Coordinator. It is intended to be the assessment of
a unit.
