Pre-Class Assignment

As part of your pre-class assignments for the U.S. History Research Project, you will watch a series of video tutorials on EdPuzzle.Through EdPuzzle, your instructor will monitor your viewership and assign questions to check your understanding of the material.

Finding Primary Sources

Find three primary sources on your topic using the techniques and resources outlined in the videos.

  • Choose three different types of primary sources (visual item, newspaper article, letter, speech, etc.)
  • Focus on primary sources that are shorter in length (2 pages) or excerpts from a longer source. This will expedite the in-class assignment
  • Enter all three of the sources into NoodleTools
  • Have these primary sources accessible when you come to class
