From @amywalker.bsky.social Have you got lost in the Library of Congress rabbit hole trying to find a primary source? The search doesn’t work like Google, things are categorized by archivists so try to “think like an archivist” when using search terms. #TeachingLC #LibraryofCongress

From @amywalker.bsky.social A @kdgilman1.bsky.social inspired Tableau Vivant! Tableau Vivant translates as ‘living pictures’ in French. This strategy invites participants to imagine entering a painting or sculpture by taking the pose of a character (or group of characters) in a work of art. #KSHGSS
