American Memory from the Library of Congress - List All Collections - 0 views

  •  
    This is an enormous, diverse collection of images and audio files based around US history. It's a very eclectic collection so tagging was difficult. If you're doing anything on American culture this would probably be helpful.

    Even though this is a wiki I've found this site useful for getting images to use for PowerPoints, assignment sheets, etc. It can be a bit hit-and-miss but is usually pretty good, I reckon.

SS Curriculum Guides - 22 views

  •  
    These are a set of out-of-print guides made by the NYC Board of Education in 1993-1994. They are full of primary sources, short text selections and activities which many teachers have found very useful. Although designed for 7th and 8th grade they can be modified for high school and elementary school. Many teachers have used these over the last 17 years to help them develop their lessons. They are large files so they will take a few minutes to open. Note that both sets follow the same format but the 8th grade guides were done with a modern text style and therefore "looks" much better.

    I just didn't get that explanation. I read it three times and still didn't get it. It's from Oxford though so should be good.

Flickr: Wessex Archaeology's Photostream - 0 views

  •  
    This photostream from flickr is maintained by Wessex Archaeology in Britain. It contains images of their excavations and the artefacts they've recovered. Useful for investigations of pre-modern Britain, I would imagine.

Welcome to the Portable Antiquities Scheme - 0 views

  •  
    This is a database set up in the UK to record archaeological artefacts found in Britain. It has a growing collection of coins, art, etc usually accompanied by an image. Would be useful when designing classroom resources or in senior student research, I would imagine.

Dr. Seuss Went to War - 2 views

  •  
    These are the cartoons produced by the Dr Seuss dude during World War II (1942-44). It's not exactly Green Eggs & Ham; shows how war can bring out the ugly side of a people. Very interesting though and probably excellent for some class activities or resource design. The images of Japanese are decidely un-PC.

    This site provides basic information on individuals and artefacts, with some high-quality images and the locations of the artefacts. The information is simplistic and probably only useful with junior classes or for preliminary reading.
