Laura Horn on 26 Sep 10This site includes material about famous Americans. This site would work for any reports about presidents, about authors, or about musicians. It would also be helpful when researching the various states. As an American Literature teacher I would use the site to have students research Langston Hughes, for instance. That would also be a great source for Black History Month.

Alice Harrison on 27 Sep 10This site is developed for kids by the Library of Congress. There is animation, games and videos that bring an appeal to this site. Research and learn about Amazing Americans, sports, past events, explore the states and various forms of media and music. Fourth graders in Lincoln research a state and biographies. Have them visit this fun site for some great facts.

Annette Coon on 30 Sep 10Looking for another great social studies website? Here it is. This site is sponsored by the Library of Congress and contains amazing stories of America's past. Students will be able to learn more about famous Americans, they can "Jump Back in Time" to read about important events that have taken place in history such as the Revolutionary War, WWII, Western Expansion, Colonial America and many, many more.
