Documents that Teach

If you are searching for an engaging way to teach about primary source documents and history, look at this website: docsteach.org/

The site uses primary source documents to create interactive analysis activities for students around historical events. I'm using one about the start of World War II on my website this week to supplement our discussion of The Diary of Anne Frank.

The program uses documents from The National Archives to create engaging learning activities for students.
