This year Colonial Williamsburg has added a literacy component for each Electronic Field Trip. These materials are drawn principally from primary sources-people of the past speaking "in their own words."

You will find some brief suggestions on how to use these primary sources in your classroom, as well as a .pdf version. Print out the .pdf version to create student hand-outs, overhead transparencies, or classroom notebooks.

We hope you will experiment with these primary resources and share your ideas on how to best use them with students. Sign up for the Colonial Williamsburg list serve.
