  The United States section of the site also allows browsing of newspapers by state, so this site would be useful for a lesson or unit on national media; for projects on specific states; or lessons on national current events.

This website links to thousands of newspapers worldwide. I would use this site to collect primary sources or as a research mechanism for current events. It would be a valuable resource to students who are doing research projects on a specific country or international topic.

The Newseum site provides lesson plans for elementary, middle, and high school teachers. The lessons focus on first amendment rights and the role of media in society. Links to other online resources allow teachers to find supplemental materials for other lesson plans and units. The site also contains a number of primary sources.

  The animated maps on the site like "March of Democracy" and "Imperial History of the Middle East" cover an extremely wide range of content in only about ninety seconds. Students might not find these maps useful until they already have a grasp on content.
