Content consumption does not equate to the construction of new knowledge, discourse, answering questions, solving a problem, or creating a learning artifact. I often recommend the use of this tool in History as a way to explore primarysource documents. That is a good start, but not a solution if learning is the goal.
Some of those articles are written for mass-market publications, while others focus on specific topics and outlets ranging from nursing to Black culture to material artifacts.

I got the chance this week to chat a bit with my kids – both now in Minnesota. And during the convo with the youngest, we ended up talking about a letter written by a Norwegian ski instructor in 1943. The guy was teaching US and Canadian special ops guys to ski as part of […]
I often weave these historical narratives into content through primarysources. I love using primarysources and personal narratives to make history more relevant for my students, but that takes second place to tangible pieces of history like my family artifacts, such as my great-grandfather's World War I uniform.
Currently numbering over 83,000 volumes and 500 linear feet of personal papers and institutional archives, it comprises a large circulating book collection, journal holdings, electronic resources, non-print media, rare books, archival materials, art, and artifacts.
This part helped students connect primarysource analysis to the broader motivations for European exploration, further deepening their historical thinking skills. To enhance their writing, we utilized AI feedback through Claude Artifact, allowing students to receive targeted suggestions on how to improve their topic sentences.
You’re] able to give really specific praise and feedback in a particular area, when you have that video artifact.”. Monica shared, “It’s a good opportunity to build out an artifact of your professional experience over the course of the year.” A digital portfolio can be very helpful to share when applying to new jobs or roles.
Standing in a recreated virtual space helps users learn something qualitatively different from simply looking at a photograph, reading primarysource material or listening to survivor testimony.

She retells history with expert analyses of historical artifacts, primarysources and thorough research. We’re sometimes told that women were incapable of such violence, but Jones-Rogers demystifies this inaccuracy.
That rubric defined “rigor” as student engagement with primarysource texts and artifacts. Jon and I believe very strongly that students in social studies classes should engage with meaningful artifacts created by the people we’re studying. What’s weird is that Question Two pretty much exhausted the consultant’s rubric.
Creating Connections Because Studies Weekly’s print publications are consumable, students can create artifacts to demonstrate their learning by cutting the primarysources and other information out of their publications. Explaining what they know increases their confidence and solidifies their knowledge.
Currently numbering over 80,000 volumes and 500 linear feet of personal papers and institutional archives, it comprises a large circulating book collection, journal holdings, electronic resources, non-print media, rare books, archival materials, art, and artifacts.
Examples of Student Learning Artifacts created with Studies Weekly printed publications: I hope you find these resources helpful. Your Studies Weekly Online classroom contains digital versions of your publications and more online resources like digital lesson plans, videos, and presentations you can project to the whole class.
The thinking skill associated with Question Two is interpretation, and in high school we’re usually interpreting a primarysource document. In the earlier grades we are often looking at a pattern of behavior or an artifact.
They were our primarysource of relevant information, after all. Students are also encouraged to do additional learning when necessary and resubmit artifacts of their work to demonstrate their learning related to the outcomes specified in each badge.
What do artifacts tell us about immigrant experience?

Instruments help provide rhythmic structure to the words. But which comes first, the music or the lyrics?

Students can hear a narration about these individuals, read their biographies, look at artifacts from their lives, and learn about the time period in which they lived and what they accomplished. The idea, he said, is that students will be inspired “to go on a scavenger hunt through the primarysource archives to learn more.”.
When we do a full Question Two inquiry lab in the classroom we usually work from primarysource documents, especially in the upper grades. But we can also interpret artifacts, images, or patterns of behavior, which is more typical in the lower grades. Whatever the source, the 4QM interpretation process has three steps.
It is exactly what it sounds like…students examine artifacts and not only infer information from the artifact, but also draw conclusions from a multitude of examples. After learning the content, they will examine artifacts in Battle Stations that consist of primarysource images and quotes.
