REVIEW:
History teachers and students will find this to be a rich resource for developing thinking skills using primary documents from the American Memory Collection. Image Detectives offers students the opportunity to examine documents the way historians do by observing details, drawing conclusions, and posing questions for further research. Investigations include immigration, women's suffrage, growing cities, industrialization, progressive reform and more. The Investigations explore selected themes like women's changing roles, prairie settlement, child labor, and the representation of Indians and include interactive exercises such as making a lantern slide show. In the Exhibit Builder students use images from the collections and text they write themselves to create a gallery or a slide show. Included are teacher pages for each of the exercises that offer suggestions for use. |
