FAQ
How do I use this research from sources worksheet?
⌄
Model one row of notes on the board before students start. Ask them to compare notes with a partner and check the card letters.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Take notes on Alexander Hamilton from his Report on Public Credit and two summary cards. The directions on the page read: Read the source cards. Cards B and C were written for this worksheet. Take notes from all three on page 2. An answer key is included.
Can I use this research from sources worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade Sources, Data and Research Skills, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
Who was Hiram Revels?
⌄
Hiram Revels was a minister from Mississippi who, in 1870, became the first African American senator after the Senate voted 48 to 8 to seat him. Students take notes on his life from three cards.
What did Dorothea Dix do?
⌄
In 1843 she sent a memorial to the Massachusetts legislature describing people with mental illness kept in cages, closets and cellars. Students take notes on her problem, method and results.
How do students tell which card is a primary source?
⌄
Each organizer asks which card holds a primary source and how students can tell, such as Hamilton's own words from his 1790 Report on Public Credit.
