Using Primary Sources - Local History and Student Historians

James A. Percoco walks through his own experiences learning to teach with historical places. By keeping your eyes open in your local community, and adopting and adapting the techniques of other educators, you can engage your students with the history of your area. Take care to walk your students (and yourself) through public, popular memory of a historical place before visiting, and guide students into seeing not just the constructed drama of history, but the often-less-comfortable reality of it.
