Instead of simply using text based white male perspective, social science teachers use a variety of sources to illustrate an event in American History. Students read a magazine source like Time Life as well as first person accounts as well as the textbook to gather data from various sources. At our table today, we liked the jigsaw approach to text. We thought we could use Jigsaw with various primary or secondary sources.
