Partner Collection K-12

Teaching American History Resource Collection

Teaching American History offers a wealth of primary sources on topics across U.S. history, with especially rich collections on America’s founding and the creation of the Constitution. Through our partnership with Teaching American History, Master Teacher Sam Futrell has developed five classroom-ready activities that pair these sources with instructional strategies from six lilyPD courses. Explore the collection below, or find all the resources in the Teach section of lilyPD by selecting Teaching American History under the Partner filter.
