Greg here! With the end of the semester, I've been extremely busy finalizing projects, grading papers, and preparing for final exams. I had the chance to sneak in a little time to create a "Primary Sources for the Primary Grades: Football Edition" Activities & Analysis package. When I first created the primary sources explanation and overview in August, I never expected it would become one of our best selling products. The Football analysis provides some of the same framework, with some critical thinking activities to boot!

There are a slew of whole group pages that explain what primary sources are and how they are applicable to football. This would be a great way to introduce the concept of primary sources if you haven't done so already. There are also 13 primary sources that accompany the activities - with a wide variety of questions to consider.
The remainder of the pages include historical argumentation writing prompts, interpretation activities, and critical thinking skill development. I think this is about primary friendly (and interesting) as social studies can get! It requires students to analyze images and explain their conclusions.
This is what you get with the product!
- 7 Primary Source Explanation Pages
- 13 Primary Source Pages (Photos of players, uniforms, stadiums, etc)
- 7 "Questions to Consider” Critical Thinking Pages (To accompany the Primary Sources)
- 4 Different Writing Prompts Pages
- 5 Non-fiction Comprehension Activity Pages
- 1 “Then vs. Now” Information Page
- 1 Blank Writing Page
Enjoy!
