Inquiry with Objects and Photographs
The History Project at Dominguez Hills in collaboration with the Autry National Center of the American West presents a Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Workshop (Levels I/II)
- Learn to design engaging inquiry-based lessons using primary sources, with an emphasis on objects and photographs, for the K-2 classroom.
