Purpose/Use/Notes:

In world and US history we are tasked with teaching students how to analyze and understand primary sources. This website could also allow them to draw connections to their own pasts bringing the material we teach to a more relevant connection. For example, in US history one such topic is the Gilded Age which is characterized by massive immigration; instead of lecturing about it the students could explore the actualities of these immigrants to better understand their circumstances and draw personal connections.
