Document+Walks

=
A Document Walk is a student-driven activity that prompts students to act as historians by generating their own historical narratives, while improving literacy skills. Working collaboratively and rotating through the classroom, students analyze various primary sources and leave their interpretations for the subsequent groups to build upon. This approach engages students with the ambiguity of historiography process, as they grapple with the transition from interpretive murkiness to clarity to construct a point of view. Join three high school teachers as they demonstrate the strategy and discuss the adaptability of the approach.======
