Produced during the National Endowment for Humanities Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop – Forge of Innovation: The Springfield Armory and the Genesis of American Industry, in the summer of 2015, the following 4 day lesson plan weaves together both local and medieval history to provide a truly unique learning experience for students. The lesson establishes five main factors leading towards the development of communities: Settlement, Agriculture, Towns, Population Growth, and Industrialization. Each factor is then examined in the context of primary source documentation using the Library of Congress Primary Source Analysis Tool. Students will enjoy the opportunity to work collectively in groups prior to demonstrating their understanding of an assigned factor to the class as a whole. Knowledge gained from this lesson will provide a valuable base of knowledge for discussion throughout the school year and address transfer goals in economics and sociology.
