The Lesson Plans page on the Library of Congress website provides a collection of teacher-created lesson plans that utilize the Library’s extensive primary source materials. These plans cover a wide range of topics and historical periods, such as 1900s America, African American identity in the Gilded Age, the Alaska Purchase, and the Great Depression. Each lesson is designed to help students analyze and appreciate historical documents, images, and artifacts from the Library’s collections, fostering critical thinking and engagement with authentic materials. The resource is organized for easy browsing by topic or era, making it a practical and valuable tool for educators seeking to enrich their instruction with reliable, standards-based content directly connected to primary sources from the Library of Congress.
