What are the Collection Connections? Here the Library of Congress created a site that links historical context and ideas for teaching with specific Library of Congress primary source collections. A place to discover lesson plans, themed resources, primary source sets, presentations, and activities. For an overview of many resources, start with the Library of Congress' Classroom Materials. Created by teachers for teachers, these ready-to-use materials provide easy ways to incorporate the Library’s unparalleled primary sources into instruction. Search by Common Core, State Standards, and Organizations. This page contains the link to "Collection Connections."

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Book Backdrops "pair popular children's literature with historical primary sources from the Library of Congress to extend learning across the curriculum. Linking primary sources to literature, making books more relevant, and promoting inquiry based learning can create motivating and enriching learning experiences for students of all ages." <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">All projects "follow the guidelines provided by Bernie Dodge and Tom March. The uniqueness is that only Library of Congress primary documents are used to engage students in real-life problem solving. The WebQuests follow a learning cycle of ITO: Input of information (LOC documents), Transformation of information (thinking process), and Output (final student product). Throughout the WebQuests, formative and summative assessment rubrics are provided." <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">"The Library of Congress presents the National Jukebox, which makes historical sound recordings available to the public free of charge. The Jukebox includes recordings from the extraordinary collections of the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation and other contributing libraries and archives."
