Of the Primary Source websites we reviewed – Ad Access, Emergence of Advertising in America, Our Documents, and American Memory Collection which was your favorite and why ?
Describe one ad or document and explain why you liked it.
Describe 3 assignments for students to use Primary Sources in class. Include the grade level and what the assignment would include.

Of the websites we viewed my favorite was Ad Access because you got to view the different ads and search for the ones that you wanted. It showed you how ads looked before we were born and how they have changed over time. One ad that I liked was a TV ad from the 1950's. It showed how after the war TV's were in high demand, also I think it was to help the economy after the war. Three assigments you would do with these websites are research. One could be for history, looking up documents and treaties that were passed. That could be done after any grade level above 2nd. Another assigment could be ad comparison. Comparing different ads like from back to one now. That could be done in any grade above 3. The final assigment you could do would be make an modern day ad based on the information in an old ad. That could be done with any grade above 2nd grade.
