    This is a great, detailed exploration of the timeline of the passage and ratification of the 14th amendment from 1866-1868.The site as a whole provides details and timelines for many of the great events of American history, as covered by Harpers Weekly. It's also a great place to access cartoons for use in class!

    Since the 14th amendment is one of the amendments we tend to concentrate on in the classroom, this is a particularly helpful site. There are so many ways to go with the amendment so teachers need to be picky about what they have time to accomplish. With this website, you have a variety of things to consider before figuring out what you will actually do with students in the amount of time you have.

    The 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal civil and legal rights to African-Americans and slaves who had been emancipated after the American Civil War. This simple overview of the 14th Amendment and Brown vs Board of Education would be appropriate for elementary students. It does have short advertisements.

    This is a lesson plan that focuses on freedom of religion, specifically as it pertains to school prayer in the case of Engel v. Vitale (1962). It looks like a case in which students can really invest themselves, and has additional cases to build off of in extension opportunities.

    I referenced this site back when we were studying the expansion of voting rights. I found this page helpful in particular for learning more about the role women played in passing the Fourteenth Amendment, even though it did not give them the vote. This site in general also has a lot of useful information and suggestions.

    This is another website that provides background information on the 1st Amendment. I like this website because it talks about a few Supreme Court decisions and justices that have asserted that freedom of Speech is absolute. Similarly, this website does a pretty good job of describing current issues and challenges to free speech.

    This primary source document on the 15h Amendment speaks volumes when it states "Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. There are Historical Collection links as well.

    This has really good articles from the NYT detailing the passage of the 19th Amendment from 1919-1920. It encompasses state votes, changes that were defeated, the signing of the resolution and more. It speaks to suffrage and questions the human welfare of women.

    This website is great, because it sorts court cases by topic/amendment addressed. Also, because it's from the ACLU, all of the issues revolve around people's rights in a concrete way, which makes it accessible for students.

    Zach, I do like the way the site is organized. It makes such a difference when the site does not fight the user.

    This blog post discusses women's suffrage in the 17th century and how it is compatible with the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence. It dismisses the idea that the 19th amendment was some revolutionary idea and provides evidence that women were voting throughout the Colonial Period.

    The American Civil Liberties Union has a vast array of materials hosted on their site. Perhaps the materials of greatest use to teachers are the frequent "news releases" about issues pertaining to our individual freedoms that are currently in the news.

    The is a site that teachers should bookmark and read weekly because it keeps you up to date with the issues of the day.
