Abstract
Incorporating primary source activities into class sessions can (re)invigorate the classroom while supporting course learning outcomes and critical thinking. This session will highlight activities and assignments successfully deployed in diverse URI courses. Encouraging a DIY approach, it will also include an overview of the tools available to assist instructors with classroom integration (including sources of preexisting lessons) as well as guidance on how and where to find the perfect primary source for your class. Resources provided.
