Great printable source analysis worksheets

Many different types of resources for history teaching.

A collection of over 8000 photos from East Africa from 1860-1960. Probably useful for classroom resources (you know, stick 'em on a worksheet, that type of thing), assessment pieces or in student research. I found with my year 12s that they needed some guidance on how to extract historical information from images ('thinking historically') but after that they used images like these well in their research for their assignments.

Great free games and projects.

this is a great site, and is a great reminder for us thanks so much for sharing this~

Useful place to order materials from other teachers. I get my Flow of History materials from Teachers Pay Teachers; they're only about $3 each.

This site looks really elementary, but DON'T be fooled! This company has units for various History subject areas (world, american, gov't, etc) that are based around activities AND taking lessons learned in the activities and making higher order thinking connections. I"m probably not doing the best job annotating this - but i will say this, I have one of the units and my students go NUTS over the activities and with their debriefing worksheets and discussion questions, my students really "get" the concepts and retain the learning.
