Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids - 1 views

  •  
    Great site for government class at all levels. The text and history of the documents make it an in depth study of whatever topic is picked. Our American Government teachers could make use of this site for serious sources and for preparing trivia follow up. Lots of possibilities with this site.

Environmental Protection Agency - 2 views

    This is a good site for those seniors whose Senior Project topic is on environmental issues. It is a springboard for choosing a specific focal point. It would also be good for the students to use for choosing an action plan for their project. Site is also a great science site for younger kids if you choose to look at only the bullet facts provided.

HSI: Historical Scene Investigation - 1 views

  •  
    This is a great site to use for primary sources practice. You can work with the activities given or do as I've done and have students compare the information they can get from primary sources versus secondary sources. The set up of the activities in investigation form can be quite appealing for students as well. I think this would be good for 5-12 grade.

Prints & Photographs Online Catalog - 1 views

    This site would be of interest to more visual learners, as well as anyone trying to get an image of a historical event. While most of these are digitized images, you can also see whether or not the original is in the Library of Congress archives. In my opinion this gives more credibility to the digitized item. Everyone can get some use from a picture - P-12.

    I love these links and activities. I initially went to this site because it seemed promising for science and math activities. There are a variety of subjects covered here to include the initial two mentioned and foreign languages. There are also primary source activites here, a real tresure chest. Not only can I use some of these with my high school foreign language students, but also find things to keep my grandkids entertained when babysitting.

    Good source for periodical items that include many different topics. You can view some letters, pictures, ads, etc. All of these things can give one a view into the culture of the day. Could be a good source for some biographical information which might not be found elsewhere.

Culture and Ethnic Groups: USA.gov - 2 views

  •  
    I think this particular section of USA.gov will be helpful to our social studies teachers as well as to our religion teachers. Both departments cover aspects of Cultural diversity and respect for human dignity. I think some of these documents will help demonstrate these topics.
