Historical Thinking Matters

Sam Wineberg has been researching critical thinking skill development in students through primary sources for several decades.  He has a website http://historicalthinkingmatters.org/students/ with sample ideas of how to use primary sources for critical skills.  I use primary sources as a bell ringer often to start the students thinking about a subject both to activate prior knowledge and critical thoughts.
