This project was developed to help your students analyze and interpret primary source materials—photographs—under your direction. Although students can access individual photographs and answer the appropriate questions on their own, this site has been designed to be used with your guidance. We encourage you to use the photographs as they fit your needs, but we also want you to think about how to use questioning strategies to guide student thinking and get the most from them (and this web site). Listed below are suggestions and resources to help you.

These two activities were developed by Teaching with Primary Sources, Northern Virginia Partnership, and Susan M. Orr, Education Specialist for Social Studies in Fairfax County Schools. The series of questions is arranged according to Bloom's Taxonomy, which identifies six levels of cognitive, hierarchic thinking.
