      This site contains mainly secondary source information, actual photos and a primary source account of the court of inquiry.

      I would use this site for an indepth study of the Maine incident leading to the start of the Spanish American War. Also it includes a comparison of the Maine disaster and the World Trade Center attack that might prove interesting to broach as a topic of discussion.

      This site contains a lot of information, which would no doubt be useful to social studies teachers. It contains various links, a good bibliography and other items of interest. Of particular value would be the bibliography which would allow for a more indepth examination of the topic.

    This site features photos, biographies of people involved in the incident and excerpts from newspapers, crewmen, etc.

      Great source for lesson plans, primary sources, bibliographies and web casts to supplement teaching about the documents governing the United States.

      The drafts featured on this site would be great to illustrate the points of compromise negotiated by the Founding Fathers and to get students to think about how the documents and ultimately, our country's governing principles, might have turned out differently.

      This site also features helpful teacher training materials for how to evaluate and utilize primary sources.

    This site uses primary sources to document the source and evolution of key phrases and concepts in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

  • Packets may be borrowed in three-week blocks. A reservation can be made by phone but is not complete until we receive a $10 deposit.

      I thought the idea of borrowing the packets for $10 for three weeks is an interesting copy. This might be useful for schools without the budgets to purchase more expensive packets of materials.

      JoEllen, I think maybe you were working on the Colonial Period. Under "For Teachers" tab, Winterthur also provides a useful bibliography.

    Winterthur (in Delaware) is the former country estate of Henry Francis duPont. He was one of the first avid collectors of American fine and decorative arts and the museum (aside from being a beautiful place to visit) is now a leading center for scholarship in the field. The museum has created packets of primary-source materials that can be used in classrooms if a field trip is not possible.

      This section offers overviews of the Indian Ocean and the uses of it in different eras. This section is more helpful than the maps which, although visually appealing, are more confusing than helpful.

      Offer a detailed 13-page bibliography of secondary sources used when creating this website. Seems very scholarly and accurate.
    • David Loudon
      David Loudon on 18 Sep 10
       
      This section is the one most applicable to teaching as it offers actually full lesson plans, including a deeper description for the teacher of what the lesson plans hope to accomplish. They also plan out how you might use their information to make a one year or two year course with it. Very thorough and very helpful for world history teachers.

      By clicking the items, you get more information about the person, place or idea as keyed on the map. Nevertheless, the map is crowded and confusing for someone not already familiar with the material.

    A reference site based on the study of the history, geography and cultures of the Indian Ocean and the peoples who used it. Has an interactive map divided into different historical periods and offers lesson plans for teachers.

      This is one site of three that provides primary documents. The other two discuss national expansion and reform and the civil war and reconstruction.

    This Library of Congress website provides access to primary documents including letters, notes, papers, Washington's inaugural address, and copies of the amendments to the US Constitution.

      You could incorporate this into any lesson plan dealing with the issue of slavery / I find the culture so fascinating I would design an entire lesson plan around it
  • jbdrury on 28 Aug 09
     
    I couldn't resist adding this page; I consider myself fairly well-versed in American history yet I had never heard of the Gullah people until a few weeks ago. Absolutely fascinating in my opinion - and incredible that this culture still exists and is being preserved
