Reviews

A treasure trove of ideas, lessons, and strategies for teaching the concept of primary sources. Responsibilities and skills required of the library media specialist for collaboration with teachers are spelled out in detail. Primary and secondary sources are first defined and described, and activities for distinguishing between them are suggested. The following chapters provide additional projects to be used with many grade levels (with modifications) and many subject areas. "My Family Artifact," "A School-Wide Patriotic Speech Festival," and "Collecting Letters, Connecting Learning" are among the sections included. The final chapter suggests ways to build local partnerships in the community, and beyond, to deliver primary-source instruction. The tools are here for becoming the primary-source expert, along with a detailed list of works cited (including Web addresses) and a useful index for finding a theme or content area in a hurry.
