Teaching with Primary Sources Workshop #2

Teaching with Primary Sources – Colorado Rural Partnership is pleased to announce the following FREE workshops for fall 2009. These workshops will be held at the UNC Center at Centerra in Loveland. Space is limited, so register early.

You can get graduate credit from UNC with this, which would work for your elective credit!

Saturday, November 7 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Pages of the Past: Newspapers and Media Literacy
Participants are required to have completed an Essentials Exploration introductory workshop to attend.

Discover the power of primary sources from historic newspapers to explore the concept of media literacy in this 8 hour TPS workshop. Join us and explore classroom activities using news articles, political cartoons, and advertisements. We will focus on two newspaper collections, the Library of Congress’s Chronicling America and the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection, and investigate ways to use these pages from history to promote student media literacy, a critical 21st century skill. Plus we will focus on leveraging Web 2.0 tools to promote citizen journalism among students. Lunch will be provided. UNC college credit can be earned.

Please share this information with fellow educators and administrators. These workshops are funded by the Library of Congress and are available to all Colorado educators.
