This Digest discusses: (1) types and uses of primary sources, (2) using the Internet to obtain primary sources, and (3) exemplary World Wide Web sites providing primary sources. TYPES AND USES OF PRIMARY SOURCES. Primary sources are the building blocks of history. These traces of the human past include ideals, customs, institutions, languages, literature, material products, and the physical remains of various people (Craver 1999, 8). Primary sources are not limited to printed documents such as letters, newspapers, diaries, and poems. Artifacts (art, pottery, articles of clothing, tools, and food), places (ecosystems, dwellings, and other buildings and structures), sounds (music, stories, and folklore), and images (paintings, photographs, videos/movies) can also be considered primary sources.

ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC RECENT TRENDS IN VALUES EDUCATION There has been a renewal of concern during the 1990s about teaching and learning valuesstandards that everyone should have about what is good or bad. And leading educators have recommended stories about heroes as a main means of teaching and learning values. Teaching methods that stress only cognitive skills in the analysis and clarification of choices about values have fallen from favor. The current trend is against teaching neutrally about values. Rather, the trend is for teaching values in concert with methods of analysis and judgment that yield answers about right and wrong, better and worse concerning personal behavior and the common good (Leming 1996). Why and how should role models and heroes be used to teach values?

Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. Using Literature To Teach Geography in High Schools. ERIC Digest. Traditionally, the high school curriculum has been rigidly compartmentalized. Yet, linkages between disciplines in the curriculum increasingly are being made, such as the connections of English to U.S. History courses in many high schools. Another connection may be English with World Geography courses. Students of every ability level could benefit from exploring the interrelationship between these two disciplines. In this ERIC Digest, the term literature refers to novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and folk tales. It consists of narrative as opposed to expository forms of writing that are found in traditional textbooks, reference books, and news articles. By no means, however, should literature be the sole tool used to teach geography or other subjects of the social studies. Rather, each form of narrative and expository writing has its place in the social studies curriculum. WHY USE LITERATURE TO TEACH GEOGRAPHY?

ERIC Digest. by Siler, Carl R. World War II was a turning point in global history, an event that had a large and lasting impact on many people and places across broad areas of the earth. Compared to other wars, World War II involved the largest armed forces, the longest battle lines, the most destructive weapons, the most casualties, the most destruction of cities and other human assets, and the highest monetary expenditures. Thus, World War II deserves a prominent place in the middle school and high school social studies curriculum. Using historical statistics is an often neglected but potentially fruitful way to teach about the causes, conditions, and consequences of World War II. This Digest presents a rationale for using historical statistics to teach about World War II, discusses instructional methods for doing so, and recommends World Wide Web resources to facilitate teaching and learning with statistics about World War II. WHY TEACH WITH STATISTICS ABOUT WORLD WAR II.

For full details, see our How Can We Help Children Learn Geography? A recent survey revealed that one in five Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 could not locate the United States on an outline map of the world. What explains this lack of geographic knowledge? In the United States, geography is not considered a basic academic course. Geography content in the middle grades (5-8) is often integrated into a world history or social studies course, and only one student in seven takes a high school geography course. Although courses in geography are indeed crucial to geographic understanding, students will derive true knowledge of world geography only if parents and teachers place emphasis on geographic themes through application activities on a day-to-day basis. Maps, globes, and atlases should be daily resources to answer questions about location, regions, climates, movement of people, and the relationship between places and the characteristics of the people that live there. A solid foundation in geography should begin with preschoolers; five- year-olds can construct three-dimensional maps of the classroom to begin to understand symbolic representation and spatial relationships.

Special Report YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS War and society or Create your own Manage alerts What is this? (CNN) Some have called them the "9/11 generation," U.S. students who must confront and try to understand a rapidly changing world. From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Indonesia to Liberia, current events have taken on special importance for young Americans living in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. But as much as most teachers and many students want to discuss what's making headlines, they say there's less and less time in the school day to do so. Mounting pressure to meet state- and nationally mandated curriculum requirements and assessment tests means current events rarely get discussed thoroughly, according to many U.S. educators. Stephen Johnson, a U.S. history teacher at Monterey High School in Lubbock, Texas, said he does not have much time to rehash the day's news with his 11th-grade history students.
