"American Journey", has a link to the dates of Tocqueville's trip to the States. Some of the dates are hyperlinked to his actual journal entries. Very simple and student friendly.
"Democracy in America Teaching Modules" links to C-SPANs Tocqueville lesson plans which are really just lesson plan ideas that we could develop as teachers. There are some good quotes in some of them but mostly they seem to just tell us what other (primary) sources to read.
"Journal Entries From Tocqueville's Trip" has a hyperlinked map that you can click on to see his journal entries in any specific state. This might be great if you were having different student groups talk about different areas during the antebellum period. Just a resource.
C-SPAN's Tocquville page (as promised). Passages from "Democracy in America," a map of the route he traveled, references to his work, lesson plans and more!!
These lessons are very detailed and flexible. Can be used for a single class period or over several periods. Helpful explanation of historical and visual culture background of images used. Links to high quality additional resources.
Primary source visual media depicted include photographs, drawings, paintings, political cartoons, print media, statuary, furniture, collectibles. Supplemented with written explanations for context and quotes from primary source written documents.
