Kristin Roper's Collaboration with Lincoln High School- [|Cold War Era: Denver] a Primary Source Collection
This project connects low-performing, Hispanic high school students to primary sources from a local collection. I selected and digitized primary sources from a local collection to supplement the students' Cold War unit (10th grade US history). This enabled these students to view cartoons, comics, commercials, newspaper articles, and brochures from the Cold War era. Students were asked to select three sources, and to interpret and reflect on those sources from the viewpoint of a woman, child, and Hispanic-American living in Denver during the Cold War era. The project met both Colorado history and information literacy standards (see "For Teachers" on website).
