My slogan is "primary sources, primary sources, primary sources!" But I also produce original student-centered learning activities, such as mock trials and mock congresses. I have been a classroom social studies teacher since 2007 and am a former newspaper editor and magazine researcher.

The World Speaks: World History Since 1750 Using Primary Source Documents. Primary Source Modern World History a workbook in the form of a toolbox of teacher assignments. The main idea behind it is to create a large number of primary source readings – 40 in total – that can be assigned to Modern World History (1750-present) students in high school or as part of a university core survey course on U.S. History. But this workbook contains a variety of teacher resources, including: • 41 primary source reading assignments, • Six research and documentation projects (Three papers, two PowerPoint presentation and a simulation), • 10 unit vocabulary lists • 10 review worksheets • 352 pages total All of the assignments are in print-ready format. Because it is a digital text in MS Word DOC format, they are adaptable to your classroom preferences. Moreover, it’s easy for the teacher purchasing this to post the document on a school password-protected school intranet to use as a textbook supplement. (You may want to withhold the World War One Simulation for the appropriate time.) I typically post the readings one at a time on my GoogleClassroom. All of the primary source readings have a series of questions at the end, which are generally a mix of reading comprehension, student opinion, Document-Based Questions, and – whenever possible – links to current events. The primary source documents are essential for honors-level students tracked to take the College Board’s AP World History exam. As such, it gives them the document-based questions (DBQs) at the end of the texts (marked with a “►”) as preparation for the kind of questions they’ll likely encounter in the AP exam. – Thomas R.
