jaderbee Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 How do you use these with your Logic Stage student? I was planning on using this site: http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/before-1600/charter-to-sir-walter-raleigh-march-25-1584.php to print them out and include them in the 5th grader's assigned reading for the week and then discuss them on Friday. I've only planned out the first 6 weeks in detail and thought to include The Charter to Sir Walter Raleigh, Letter to John Cabot, Letter to Amerigo Vespucci and the Iroquois Constitution (excerpts). I just saw the points of ellipsis all over the docs and realized they're probably quite edited. So what do you do? Am I going about this right?

Momling Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Cool website! The two books I've found most useful in providing activities for primary sources are the Reading like a historian website and book http://sheg.stanford.edu/us and http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Like-Historian-Teaching-Classrooms/dp/080775403X/ref=dp_ob_image_bk and DBQ writing assignments like this: http://www.amazon.com/Document-Based-Assessment-History-Middle-School/dp/0825159040/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407825325&sr=8-1&keywords=dbq+us+history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I've used first source documents for handwriting and for read alouds and discussion. I like the Sam Fink illustrated Dec. of Independence and US Constitution. We've used selections from The Federalist Papers in Modern English along side the Constitution. We've read aloud parts of the book Island at the Center of the World and then used The Flushing Remonstrance for religious and political discussion and handwriting practice. The Gettysburg Address is good for memorization in addition to the other uses I've mentioned. The excerpts from the charters for each colony are useful too.

Saddlemomma Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I incorporate primary sources from http://eyewitnesstohistory.com by linking them directly into DD's assignments on Onenote according to the relevant time frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We're incorporated primary source documents into dd's history since beginning homeschooling her fifth grade year. At first she read short excerpts of relevant documents. She now reads full-length documents and much longer excerpts of weighty documents.
