Looking Into Holidays Past Through Primary Sources

This is one of my old favorites. Part of the Library of Congress American Memory Project presentations section, Looking Into Holidays Past Through Primary Sources uses sound, images, movies and documents to provide context and understanding to students about the past. Viewing these resources gives students the opportunity to experience history while honing their observation and critical thinking skills. This LOC resource is split into the four seasons (Spring, Winter, Summer, and Fall) with each section containing seasonal appropriate sounds, images, movies, and documents for students to explore. A graphic organizer is included for students to record their observations. Recommended for grades 4-12 by the LOC.
