Columbus Day or Indigenous People's Day? You Decide!

Enjoy this engaging primary source analysis lesson! Students will compare and contrast 9 sources in order to help them decide if we should keep the holiday for Christopher Columbus or change it to Indigenous People's Day. This set is a fabulous introduction to primary source investigation, getting your students using those critical thinking skills and really engaging with history! Included with your purchase: a student version print file, a student version digital file, a teacher key, and a folder with all the files used to make it easy to adapt.

This is modeled after my resource: "Christopher Columbus: Hero or Villain" which has many positive reviews. Check out the comments to see how effective this can be in your classroom!

The sources were carefully selected to be age appropriate both in content, reading level, and length. Potentially difficult words have been adjusted to match the vocabulary level of your students.

Now with a handout option that has no cartoons for older students!
