Learning about history requires that students study and review many different sources. Primary and secondary sources are the backbone of understanding history, which in turn helps students understand the concepts of the class with greater detail and from new, and sometimes challenging perspectives. Through the use of these documentaries, students will gain access to outstanding secondary source material that will help them learn about the units we will be studying this year. Your donation to this project will enrich the lives of students, not only in this school year, but in years to come through the continuing gift of these documentaries.
