I know that many of you fifth grade teachers are beginning your studies of the American Revolution.  Back in the fall we met and talked about using primary sources in your lessons.  I have found another resource that can help you to do this. The U.S. National Archives Experience Digital Vaults  offers your class a good introduction to discovering and working with primary source materials. Digital Vaults focuses on a curated collection of 1,200 items. On the site, there are activities designed to help students discover important connections between primary sources. One activity  Pathways Challenges, provides quizzes that ask students to analyze a specific resource and then find the related document within the collection. You can also use the resources to create your own quizzes and students can use the resources for projects. Click below for Revolution sources:
