The above document is my annotated resource set. It is a list of various primary sources that I could use in the classroom for a lesson on Colorado history. All resources come from the Library of Congresswebsite. These resources include documents and photographs among other things.

I think that this project was very enjoyable. Before we did this project, I did not know where you could locate primary sources to use in the classroom. After we worked on this project, I realized that it is very easy to find primary sources and use them. I also learned about copyright laws and how they apply to educators. Before we did this project, I did not have any knowledge of that but now have a fairly good grasp on the matter.

I will use this in my future classroom for history lectures. I realize that it is much easier to connect to history when you can see it in photographs, read it in old newspapers, hear it in songs and in other ways as well. Using the primary sources I find at the Library of CongressI can help my students connect to the history they are learning about and give them the chance to become a part of it.
