    AWESOME civics and citizenship lesson plans. High school level but very cool. Lots of stuff where you apply Rousseau's theories to paintings from the 60's etc. Lots of multimedia type fun stuff. Love them. A part of the "Youth Leadership Initiative"

      This website would be a valuable resource for teaching students about human rights. Students could use the country reports to research human rights conditions in a country of their choice.

      This site could be used in conjunction with a unit on Human Rights perhaps using the Model UN organization's Global Classroom curriculum on Human Rights. Students could use this website as a resource to research human rights conditions in different countries around the world.

      Margit Nahra on 16 Sep 10
       
      The drafts featured on this site would be great to illustrate the points of compromise negotiated by the Founding Fathers and to get students to think about how the documents and ultimately, our country's governing principles, might have turned out differently.

      This audio file could be used to enrich a lesson on the French and Indian War. The music could be used to pique student interest at the beginning of class or as background music for a presentation on the Battle of Quebec.

      Related links could be used to supplement textbook materials on the French and Indian War. Link to site with materials on how newspapers covered the war provides an interesting alternative to dry textbook summaries and could be used to show students how the events were viewed at the time rather than through the lens of current perspectives.

      I like the emphasis on choosing a topic that students know little about -- good for stretching students out of their comfort zones.
  • encourage students to pick one they know little about or that is particularly relevant to current events (e.g., racial justice, immigrants' rights, or free speech)
