Let's Find Out! Primary Sources

Primary source documents are some of the best resources we have to understand the people, societies, and cultures of the past. This series introduces young readers to the importance of primary sources and illustrates how we can analyze them, what kinds of unique information we can glean from them, and the immersive experience of history they can provide. Focusing on a single primary source document, each title will explore the historical events that gave rise to said document, explain exactly what is being said, and describe how the document affected the historical landscape.
• Terminology is fully explained through vocabulary boxes and a glossary
• “Compare and Contrast” and “Think About It” boxes encourage the reader to investigate further
