[LM_NET] SEC: Social Studies 7th Grade

[Aileen Basuljevic <basul3@AOL.COM>]

Hello Friends,

I was approached recently by a 7th grade social studies teacher who I have been 
trying to get into the library for years to do some kind of project! There must be 
some district initiative now because all of a sudden he approached me and NEEDS to 
get in the library for research. Below he outlines what he is looking to do with 
his students.....any ideas for sources. He indicates he "wants to do a project on 
primary and secondary sources," so I feel like I am missing something......any 
ideas to assist me in providing him with the resources he needs---would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance/suggestions you can offer.

Best regards,
