One academic/expert resource that supports the use of this strategy (this can
be an article from Young Learner, childrens book, website (look to class
weebly for ideas) :
What Does It Mean to Think Historically...and How Do You Teach It?
-Bruce A. VanSledright.
First Graders Research Stuffed Animals and Learn about Their World
-Paula Rogovin
Explain why you think this is a useful pedagogic strategy/teaching tool for this
particular unit.
This is a useful pedagogical strategy for my unit because it sets the background
knowledge for the unit. Students will learn not only about how to analyze historical
resources but will also learn what resources they have at their disposal when it
comes to learning about technology. They will learn about what to look for in a
resource, how to interpret the perspective of the author as well as look at whether
the author is considered an expert on the subject.
Describe how you would apply that strategy in this unit.
After I introduce the topic and the unit the first day I will begin to have students
prepare for the first discussion. In order for this to happen I will need to implement
the first strategy. Before students can begin to discuss and make references to
resources they need to be able to analyze resources and take information out of
them as well as ignore certain resources based off of the authors potential bias. In
order to apply this I will work with students the first day and explore what makes a
quality resources, what to look for in an article, how to find bias, and how to
synthesize information from articles.
Identify one type of student who may struggle with this strategy, and what
modifications could encourage the students full participation and success.
A student who might struggle with this is a student who has a lower reading level or
one who struggles to read for meaning. I think for these students I could encourage
looking at sources for their reading level or I could pair them off with other
students/groups in order to maximize their participation without getting
disheartened.
