Step 3: The Big Step! There is no pedagogical support to any of the above archives, so it's left up to you to determine how the resources in these archives can be used in the classroom. 

· On the "Audio and Video Nations" web page you created for the Audio Nation activity, create a sub-heading titled "Video Nation" and develop an idea for a learning activity that your students (or another population of students) could participate in that would take advantage of video-based primary sources. The archives listed above can be used, but feel free to find your own. The following should be briefly described (bullet points are fine):

· The URL to the video(s) students would use

· Inquiry question(s) students would pursue as they watched and analyzed the video(s)

· Specific portions or aspects of the video(s) that are most valuable to the analysis process. That is, describe some of the specific things students should be looking for in the videos.

· Potential answer(s) to the inquiry questions students might provide as a result of their analysis of the video(s).
