Teaching with Primary Sources
History should never be boring. However, students often report that history is their least favorite subject. They often state that history does not engage them and they see its study as a passive and repetitive task. It's just something they have to do to move from one grade to the next. It should be about engaging students in the process of "doing" history and the use of primary sources is one of the main ways to do this.
