This book provides hands-on strategies for providing skills-based instruction with primary source material. Organized as a set of adaptable lesson plans, this publication is designed to support classroom teachers, archivists, and special collections librarians alike. Two additional chapters on differentiation and on adapting lesson plans to fit whatever archival material you have on hand support instructors in being creative and catering to the needs of their students.
