Map 1: Child Labor Map 2: GDP 2002 [] [] I chose the topic of actually applying the techniques for TPS because I am familiar with the website already (having taught US History before) and wanted to directly apply the concepts to individual pictures and maps. This more closely resembles how I would use the information of this website in my classroom today (as I no longer teach US History). Using the Observe, Reflect, Question framework, I can apply it to my teaching of World History right now. I teach social sciences and this easily fits into my teaching method and what I do with classes on a daily basis. The skill of teaching someone to analyze a document (be it print or otherwise) is an important skill to learn and directly applicable for the social sciences. I would gladly present these strategies to members of my Professional Learning Community or to my department as a way to analyze visual sources (or print sources). The technique could also be applied across disciplines as a general problem solving technique. What content area do you teach and in what ways would you find the LOC website to be more engaging or useful for your content area?
