The relationship between issues for teaching History and historical sourceshas handed me to think about newspapers as a great ally in my work as a teacher. Activities with newspapers have been choosen as focus to this research because of an empirical perception of its misunderstanding as a potential instrument of learning History. The background of this investigation was the boundries near academical and scholar knowledge, inside the classrooms according to the texts of Monteiro (2000) and Gabriel (2003), readers of Tardif (1991) and Chevallard (1991) and, towards, to focalize the construction of scholar knowledgement in History with newspapers, as historical sources, by teachers in their journey.Key-words: Historys teaching; historical sources; newspapers.
