Authentic Primary Source Activities for U.S. History, World History, Economics, and U.S. Government Classes
Getting students to actually read an assigned text can be surprisingly difficult. Many students skim, skip, or disengage entirely—especially when the reading feels long, dense, or disconnected from immediate tasks. Even when held accountable, some students struggle to stay focused or to actively process what they’re reading, which leads to low comprehension and minimal retention.
How do you get your students to actually READ the assigned reading?
The Educator's Verdict
"This was a great activity for introducing my students to important figures of the Harlem Renaissance. The gallery walk format kept students moving and actively learning as they explored different artists, musicians, and writers from the era. It was easy to set up and led to great conversations about the cultural impact of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s."
