Primary Source Set for Colonialism - Transcript

Hello, teachers. My name is Jessica Ellison, and I work with the Minnesota Historical Society Teacher Education Team. And I'm here to tell you about some really great resources we have on our website, some new primary source sets and lessons. So the one I want to introduce you to today is colonialism. So colonialism can be a really difficult thing to talk about in your classes.

So we have a bunch of primary sources to help you along the way, including some really cool maps. So if you scroll down on this page, you'll find that we have a couple of maps of North America. And in central United States to talk about colonialism here. But then if you're teaching global studies or world history, we also have a couple of maps here.

And further down the page of different parts of the world, so that you can talk about colonialism on a global scale. When you're looking at these primary sources, you can also click over to the lesson plan that goes with it to kind of help shape your conversation in the class. So take a look at the sources. Take a look at the lesson.

Talk with your students about colonialism and make sure you check out all the other resources we have on our distance learning page
