The following groups of pictures are intended for the lesson Understanding the Proclamation Through visuals.

The lesson plan is designed for special education students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade. Many of these students have learning disabilities that affect their reading, writing, and processing abilities. Visuals (in this case primary source photographs) will allow students the ability to understand what primary sources are and how we can analyze them to better understand history.

In this File you will find 11 pictures that can stimulate critical thinking skills of objective and subjective observational analysis. One does not have to use all the pictures, but can if they deem necessary.

The following pictures were chosen because I believe they will be the best ones to create dialogue with these students, plus they’re really interesting
