Making Literature Come Alive with Primary Sources

July 13 - 16, 2009

3 Credit Hours

** REGISTRATION **

This year’s Teaching with Primary Sources Literature Summer Institute will be helping teachers to enhance the learning of literature through the use of primary sources. As the students analyze primary sources that have to do with the life of the author, events that effected life while the literature was being penned, and localities and events contained within the literature, the story become part of the life of the students and they begin to live the story. As examples, participants will visit Hannibal and experience Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, take a look at Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and learn 19th century history through the study of its literature.
