As a history teacher and the founder of a homeschool company teaching children to track sources and locate primary documents is of the upmost important to me. It’s more important than ever in the age of lies and deception. The National Archives are a great resource filled with primary documents that any parent can utilize.

I am also very proud to announce that I have put together an entire course through Classical Learner designed to teach young people critical thinking and discernment. In the course, we not only learn how to get back to primary documents, but the children engage with the documents, do source evaluations, and are taught how to identify logic fallacies so that they can identify manipulation and arguments. If you’re members of Homeschools Connected, you already have access. If not, you can join here.
