[quote=Anonymous]Serious academic research and primary sources take many forms.  Don't let the PPs discourage you.  Statements from one of the books linked above.

"When we think of historical inquiry, we often imagine a scholar reading the letters, journals, newspaper accounts, and official documents of a given period and then aggregating those diverse forms of personal or collective impressions into the individual impression of the historian."

"To determine how teachers taught, I have used a variety of sources: Photographs of teachers and students in class, Textbooks and test teachers used, Student recollections of their experiences in classrooms, Teacher reports of how they taught, Reports from persons who visited classrooms, Student writings in school newspapers and yearbooks, Research studies of teacher behavior in classrooms, Descriptions of classroom architecture, size of rooms, desk design and placement, building plans, etc."

"Analysis of sources that produced this percentage revealed that they were either photos from local newspapers that school officials had provided or had suggested to reporters that such photos be taken."

"What these scattered photographs, student newspaper items, yearbook vignettes, and official reports how are instances of project work, student participation in classwork (e.g. reports, debates, etc.) within a larger framework of teacher-centered patterns of instruction."
