5 Ways to Use This Tool With Primary Sources:

• Upload a primary source and have the students create an avatar that “stands in” the primary source and acts as a tour guide for that source. Student must be critical thinkers and be able to apply their studies to the presentation through their avatar.

• Ask student groups to collaborate on a location or historic event  and have them each tell part of the story of the location or event using primary sources.  Put the Tellagami videos together to create a multi-media presentation.

• Upload a before and after picture of a site using primary sources and have a local or historic “avatar” tell about the change over time.  

• Upload the picture of a historic landscape or a historic site. Students can have the Tellagami tell the importance of the historic site and describe the features of the site of landscape that make it significant and important in the local, state, or national story.  (Analyze, Create, Evaluate, Apply )

• Have a Tellagami analyze a document for another student so that the other students can then see the thinking behind analyzation from a partner and model critical thinking.

• Upload a primary source and have the students create an avatar that “stands in” the primary source and acts as a tour guide for that source. Student must be critical thinkers and be able to apply their studies to the presentation through their avatar.
