      Has great lesson plans by category and subcategory. Most of the time when I've google searched lesson plans and found them helpful, they've come from this site!

    Great lesson plans! "EDSITEment is a partnership among the National Endowment for the Humanities, Verizon Foundation, and the National Trust for the Humanities. EDSITEment offers a treasure trove for teachers, students, and parents searching for high-quality material on the Internet in the subject areas of literature and language arts, foreign languages, art and culture, and history and social studies. All websites linked to EDSITEment have been reviewed for content, design, and educational impact in the classroom. They cover a wide range of humanities subjects, from American history to literature, world history and culture, language, art, and archaeology, and have been judged by humanities specialists to be of high intellectual quality. EDSITEment is not intended to represent a complete curriculum in the humanities, nor does it prescribe any specific course of study."

      This website provides links to various sources but provides reviews of most of them.

      This lesson plan allows students to study the American Revolution from the perspective of Native Americans which are a group often forgotten in the teaching of this event.

      I think this lesson could work well in either a middle or high school US History course. I would use it as a supplement a unit on the American Revolution

    This lesson plan allows students to try to put themselves in the shoes of Native Americans who became involved in European conflicts in colonial America such as the American Revolution and the Seven Years War. It provides an extensive lesson plan as well as background information for teachers on the topic.

      WAY too much in the introduction and background information for the teacher. Teachers should already have a general knowledge of these things, all the details are not necessary.

      Good list of documents, covering the south, Frederick Douglas and Lincoln.

      I don't particularly like the idea of having the students write an innaugural address as if they are President Lincoln, mainly because the scope seems too narrow for me. Rather than focusing on what it was like to be Lincoln, the lesson should focus on what is going on in the country. Nevertheless, I appreciate the lesson plan's attempts to have students interact with the history be taught.

      I think that along with his lack of triumphalism, Lincoln's scathing indictment of the institution of slavery should also be noticed by students. This speech, combine with his Gettysburg Address shows Lincoln's thought (changing thoughts?) and slavery and african American and would be interesting for the students to explore.
