This lesson plan, prepared by the University Archives'
Student Life and Culture Archival Program, is designed to engage students in the reading and interpretation of primary source documents in a group or classroom setting.
Students are encouraged to work through the Primary Source Village Tutorial in advance of this 30 minute discussion in order to ensure that they are all familiar with the fundamentals of primary sources and their use.
The plan is divided into four topical areas, each based upon a different set of documents available in the University of Illinois Archives.
At right are links to the lesson plan and digital reproductions of these documents. You can save these images to your own computer and then import them to Word files and/or PowerPoint presentations for use in the classroom.
