The Davis Center is hosting a two-part webinar series for educators, equipping them with practical tools to integrate primary sources into their teaching. Incorporating primary sources in the classroom empowers students to interact with historical evidence, promoting critical analysis and a richer understanding of history. This is the second webinar in the series--the first, Teaching with Maps, is scheduled for February 27th.
We invite you to a comprehensive 90-minute webinar devoted to Primary Source Analysis Using the OPCVL Method, where we will guide you through the OPCVL method for analyzing historical sources. This session is for educators seeking effective ways to teach students how to critically engage with both textual and visual primary sources. By exploring the OPCVL method (Origin, Purpose, Content, Value, and Limitation), you will learn how to help students assess the reliability, perspective, and significance of various materials, fostering their historical inquiry skills.
