Investigating The Civil War: A Multimedia Approach - Michael Hutchison, techLearning
... Primary historic sources serve to make history come alive for students. By actually reading the words or seeing a photo of those who participated in historic events students gain a greater appreciation for past events and their significance. In my view, few primary historic sources rival the photos and written documents of the Civil War. It was to this end that I decided I would have my freshman social studies students investigate the series, the war itself, and develop projects based on their research. My goal was to not only have them see the power of the series, but also to also learn about the war, indeed, to understand Ken Burns' statement quoted at the start of this story. This retrospective will address two levels, first, professional development, and second, student work.
