Free Webinar: Pairing Primary Sources and Picture Books – June 17, 2-3 ET
Register now for this webinar!
A picture book that focuses on a historic event or individual can introduce students to a piece of history. Layering in primary sources allows for new engagement and understanding.
This session will focus on how the pairing of primary sources and picture books can enhance the awareness of a historic event or individual, the research process taken by authors of historically based picture books, as well as the author’s or illustrator’s portrayal of history.
Educators participating in the live webinar for this session may request a certificate for one hour of professional development.
