Annotated+Resource+Set



My annotated resource document is a guide of primary sources taken from the Library of Congress regarding African Americans during the Civil War. This document is a resource tool for students in 10th grade studying the Civil War era. In using this document students can find the roles of African Amerians during the Civil War, whether it would be as soldiers, slaves, or abolitionists. They will also find sources describing the treatment of African Americans during this time periodd. I think this is a great tool for students to use because the Civil War is a large topic and there are many resources available to students. These sources can narrow the search so that students do not get overwhelmed in finding what they need. Primary sources are essentail in engaging students in learning about history. I would use this document and the Library of Congress in teaching about the Civil War or other events in history. High School students are required to learn and gain experience in researching. With all of the sources available today, I can use the Librabry of Congress to show first hand accounts about the topics I am teaching. As students navigate this site, they can not only learn more about our topic, but they can find research for projects assigned.
