An Engaged Citizenry: Using Primary Sources in Civics and Government Offered by the Maine Humanities Council
One-day kickoff: July 2012
Four webinars: Fall 2012
Culminating lesson plan project: January 2013

The Library of Congress’ Teaching with Primary Sources Program offers unparalleled online teaching resources, particularly primary sources that illustrate our nation’s development and civic functions. In An Engaged Citizenry: Using Primary Sources in Civics and Government, offered by the Maine Humanities Council, Maine teachers will explore civics through the lens of three topics: the Constitution, relationships with Native Americans, and emancipation. These will be used as “case studies” to understand how to best integrate primary sources—from the Library of Congress and local archives—into the classroom.

CEUs and a small stipend available.
