Full Lesson Plans

These lesson plans provide you with everything you need to use Newberry Library materials in a class directly related to your curriculum. They link to pages that display primary sources and other materials without added information so that you can, if you like, do a strictly inquiry-based lesson by challenging your students to raise the questions and find the answers within the sources. They also link to student worksheets so that you can have students working independently or in small groups.
