      Many of the newspapers from other countries are also in other languages, however; most countries also have at least one English paper.

      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.

      Clicking on a country also gives basic, factual information on that country; like population and a picture of the country's flag.

    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.

      There is a focus on national news and US history, so this site might not be useful for teaching world history or news.

    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.

      Clicking the "Download" leads to downloadable powerpoint slides and presentations that already have maps embedded in them.

      The site contains information on conservation, topography, human migration, and other relevant topics for geography teachers.  A variety of supplemental maps also illustrate these concepts.

      Cultural and region specific information is broad, so while this site is valuable for geography teachers, it may not provide detailed enough information for history teachers.

      This site provides excellent lesson plans on the Constitution, but its limited focus makes it American History specific.

      Some lessons include "lesson audio" and "teacher audio" links.  Clicking these links provides audio instructions to help the teacher prepare for the lesson.

    This website provides lesson plans for every grade level on the content and significance of the U.S. Constitution.

      This site has a heavy focus on British and Scottish history, so it may not be as useful in units unrelated to those areas of the world.
