@drmullsMD @RCFH1986 @adamboxer1 How would those pupils know that those conditions were harsh? In what context are they viewing them? In comparison to what?

@MrBajkowski @RCFH1986 @adamboxer1 That really depends on the standard. If he’s teaching middle school and his goal is students can describe harsh conditions on workers of the industrial revolution he nailed it. The source material is for the “curriculum specialists” to ham and haw over.

Terrible way to explain the industrial revolution

@RCFH1986 @drmullsMD @adamboxer1 They are not sources. They are someones interpretations of the past. They might give some useful reflections about how people's perceptions and interpretations of the past are useful but only through an understanding of the source material they are based on. You need this first

@MrBajkowski @drmullsMD @adamboxer1 Secondary sources. Sources from after the time. For example, school textbook, a book written by a historian.

@RCFH1986 @drmullsMD @adamboxer1 As opposed to what other source?

@MrBajkowski @drmullsMD @adamboxer1 A source from the time period

@drmullsMD @adamboxer1 What do you mean by a 'primary' source?

@adamboxer1 These kids now have a context for what life in a factory looked like. You could use historical images but the kids will remember the Asas creed image over the primary source.
