Helpful link if you're looking for information on the Great Depression.

One of my favorite topics to teach is the Women's Suffrage Movement and Alice Paul - I just found out that this museum is right here and full of resources and opportunities for out students to learn about the movement hands-on.

Meridian is great - they can arrange for someone to come to your classroom about another country. They can talk about the country's history, politics, and especially culture. They even bring lots of visuals and props that students can use. I am having someone from Meridian come to my class to talk about India when I teach about Gandhi. Check it out!

These National Geography Standards are similar to Indiana's standards, and are also helpful.

Reading about "geographic thinking" brought back horrible repressed memories of teaching World Geography last semester. There are no DCPS geography standards and, as you may have noticed, it is difficult to define what exactly it means to think/teach geographically (beyond memorizing the locations of countries on maps). I struggled a lot with this concept, but the best guidance I was able to find was from the Indiana World Geography Standards.
