“Teaching with Folk Sources,” now available at https://jfepublications.org
This 10th Volume of the Journal of Folklore and Education offers two issues packed with resources and content. Expanding mainstream notions that primary sources are historical documents housed in hard-to-access archives, this volume showcases archival items that expand our vision of community, self, the past, the future, art, pedagogical opportunities—and, yes, history.
Vol. 10 Issue 1: Teaching with Folk Sources
What if young people saw themselves in an archive? Recognized their families and the arts of their communities in a folklife collection? Grew curious about documenting what is going on in their communities? Explore these possibilities in Issue 1: “Teaching with Folk Sources: Listen, Observe, Connect.”
Vol. 10 Issue 2: The Curriculum Guide
Issue 2 features work by our consortium project Teaching with Folk Sources, funded by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program. Find frameworks and detailed lesson plans from Local Learning’s TPS consortium project members and their educator partners, organized as a Curriculum Guide.
