American Colonies Mini-Inquiry Activities

COLONIAL ERA INQUIRY ACTIVITIES FOR US HISTORY!

TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF INQUIRY WITH MY "PRIMARY SOURCE SANDWICHES!"

They pair primary source texts (which can be challenging for students to read) with cartoons, graphs, maps, photographs, and other images to help them better understand the text and answer an inquiry question using evidence from various sources!

Why Primary Source Sandwiches Are Awesome:

• No-prep & ready to engage
• Scaffolds tasks so students can develop historical thinking skills
• its 'bite-sized' inquiry so students don't get overwhelmed and can build their confidence while building skills
• Two options for every document sheet: 1 is more challenging and 1 has been modified more to support struggling and younger readers!
• Takes the stress out of inquiry!

Each activity is about 60 minutes and can lead to great discussions and debates! There are more topics than you'll need so that you can choose which ones you love the most!
