      There is so much information on this site that it is difficult to browse for lessons/curriculums etc. I would recommend knowing what you want before you start a search.

      I think being able to browse and search by Standards is really neat on this website. However, I found that not all states' standards were included in this function.

      This site is useful for teaching students about the history of communication in the United States. It would be useful as well to teach a unit on postal history combined with a language arts unit on letter writing.

      The State Department publishes human rights reports each year on countries throughout the world. The information is very up to date.

      This website would be a valuable resource for teaching students about human rights. Students could use the country reports to research human rights conditions in a country of their choice.

      This site could be used in conjunction with a unit on Human Rights perhaps using the Model UN organization's Global Classroom curriculum on Human Rights. Students could use this website as a resource to research human rights conditions in different countries around the world.

    This site gives human rights reports listed by country and year. It is an excellent resource for information on human rights conditions throughout the world.

      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
  • Stephanie Beer on 20 Sep 10
     
    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.

      This lesson encourages students to use websites such as the US Census Bureau and the UN Population Division in order to research a migration in history of their own selection.

      I would use this lesson in a middle school geography class but it could also be used in a US history class in a unit on immigration.
  • Stephanie Beer on 20 Sep 10
     
    This is a great lesson for a middle school geography class that would get students thinking about peoples' motivations for migrating from one place to another. The lesson plan includes objectives and standards as well as the lesson procedure. There are also ideas for extension activities.

      This site is valuable to educators because it provides resources that allow students to see into cultures that are very different from their own

    This website uses resources from current and returned Peace Corps Volunteers to create lesson plans to help teachers educate their students about the world. Most of the lesson plans center around stories written by Volunteers but there are some videos as well. Teachers can also request that a Volunteer visit their classroom to talk with their students.
