Teaching with Primary Sources

WEBINAR: Teaching with Primary Sources, Professor Scott M. Waring, Ph.D, University of Central Florida
1 December 2015, 18:00 CET (Tuesday)

"This session focuses on procedures and practices related to teaching with primary sources in the history classroom. This includes the skills students need to analyze information and come to conclusions in an inquiry. These skills focus on gathering and evaluating sources, and then developing claims and using evidence to support those claims."

- This is a comic we had done about the first phase of the French Revolution. Unfortunately it is in Greek. We used storyboardthat.com and as you can figure out there's the king who doesn't give in and the Nation's Assembly that give the oath of giving France a law.

(Eirini Zanini)

·      - Another activity we made and I describe it at google presentation about aims and purposes of that activity is a comic about happy mayors to happy towns as subproject at our european school journal' s project you can see here Diving in the oceans of knowledge!

(Dorin Florentin Pena)

- I have used Dipity for my online timelines, but I have recently found this interesting tool which enables to create timelines with pictures without limits (Dipity reaquires a 'Premium' paid upgrade after three timelines on the same account):

ReadWriteThink Timeline

It also enables you to save the timeline on your pc and complete it later, for example. When it's finished, you can save a copy of it (Pdf format) to use as a worksheet etc. This has been done as part of a Clil module activity as a summary of Industrial Revolution events.

- In the project I described in the first part of this activity we have only used zeemaps.com so far. I know popplet, but I have never used it collaboratively with my students. Maybe we could use it in our migration project to collect and structure ideas ... What we do need is an easy to use tool for creating a joint timeline of the history of migration. This will become really complex (with 4 countries involved). So, if someone can recommend a tool which is easy to use collaboratively and free ... ;-)

(Brigitte Kassel)

- this is not exately the tool for mind maps that you offered to the group but it is my favourite one.
I can export the product in svg format and upload it in my internet space giragira.org using ftp protocol.
Then I can use my website made up with a very friendly CMS to give my students the link.
Russian revolution, interactive map. clic on the pencil icon and you can see more info.

the map is here
Russian revolution mind map http://giragira.org/mappesvg/RIVOLUZ_RUSSA.html

The page for my students to find my contents is here in my website:

- Here is a Dipity timeline I've created with my students.
In it, aspects of local history (The History of the Bagheria's Villas, and of the quarries of limestone from which the building material was extracted) and of the "general" history of Sicily, are interwoven with European history

DISCUSSING - TASK 2

DISCUSSING ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP

Active citizenship means active involvement in local communities, it may include volunteering activities, non-formal groups actions or small events like cleaning the streets, river banks etc. Active citizenship is also vital in school life. It is a combination of knowledge, attitude, skills and actions to foster a democratic society. It supports cooperation, values diversity and involves the whole community, it´s important for solving problems of various kind. School programmes should cover communication on building tolerance, fighting prejudice, openess to diversity . . .


"Migration to Europe 2015"

• "an escalating migration crisis is testing th EU´s commitment to human rights and open borders" 
• "human tragedies caused by pollitical situation in the Middle East and Africa" 
• "volunteers help migrants arriving in Europe"
  (these are just three quotes from current newspapers) 

A task for you:
