This is the National Archives' "Charters of Freedom" website. In addition to having full transcriptions of the DOI, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, there are links to many ancillary materials as well. Included in the site are lesson suggestions, other primary source materials, and scholarly essays about the legacy of our Founding Documents.

Very simple, easy to read write up about the Seneca Falls Convention that can be adapted for class.  Includes portraits of the major players.

Portraits seemed to be "down" when I went to the site. But, the narrative is certainly easy reading for secondary students.

This collection of images provides a pictorial account of the Suffrage Movement, as well as an historical overview of the National Women's Party, timeline, information on selected leaders of the party, tactics and techniques of the campaign, and Gallery of Suffrage Prisoners. The photo collection is particularly great as a way to show the actions of the NWP.

Exploring the Digital Vaults is easy. You can browse through the hundreds of photographs, documents, and film clips and discover the connection between some of the National Archives' most treasured records. This is a fun way to have students explore historical documents and really just stumble upon treasures.

Great website from NPS. Information on the connection between women's rights and rights of African Americans. Info of Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Seneca Falls.

This gives a sample of the most celebrated documents and milestones in history. I thought it was interesting to be able to click on a plethora of links not on just the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constittution, Bill of Rights but also links to the Emancipation Proclamation, Social Security Act, FDR's "Day of Infamy" speech and much more.

The National Archives is truly a remarkable site. Remember when we had to teach history without the richness of all the documents we can now get online?

This is a resource my colleague and I use often. The ed portal U.S. History 1 course covers the first settlers to the end of the Civil War. This bookmark covers the creation of the U.S. government. Yes, the videos are "cutesy", however because there is a video to watch, a transcript and narration students can access the information on many levels.

There has been a lot of controversy over Judge Thomas' attendance and remarks at this dinner. An interesting conversation to have with students about the idea of impartiality and how our experiences shape our choices.

I wish I had found this site back in September! I really like all of the resources laid out on this website, it's easy to navigate, and something I could imagine letting my students explore too. I especially had fun playing "Which Founder Are You?" Turns out I'm George Mason.

This poem was written to promote passage of the Constitution. It makes the argument that the nation needs a "new roof" (the Constitution) as it's roof is in badly need of repair.

Lesson plans and teaching resources for using primary sources created by the National Archives.

Lessons, activities, and resources about the Constitution-whether or not you celebrate Constitution Day. You do need to be a member of NCSS to access materials.

Yes, you do need to be a member.

This is a website from the non-profit Independence Hall Association. They are a group of private citizens who are consulted about maintaining Independence Hall national site. If you click on "Our Congress of Websites" there are links to other websites that might be useful.

I enjoyed it, being a native Philadelphian. Don't know how much Bostonians will relate but it was fun to review it.
