An example from the University of Maryland University College [UMUC]
The title of the activity is: The Building of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Although this is an online activity, the ideas can be transformed and applied to our courses.
Original text In this example, students examine
illustrations and information relating to the canal system of early America and answer questions aimed at assessing its economic and social impact. Though primarily intended for second-level students, this example and many others in this resource could be easily adapted to the needs of undergraduates.
The exercise on the building of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal suggests how teachers might use archival sources as a basis for teaching basic information about the industrial history of America.
