    This page allows you to search historical newspaper articles throughout history. Students would love this site to research events throughout history by looking at these old newspapers.

    This site offers newspaper pages from 1860 to 1992 from various states, including Nebraska. Seeing the front page headlines from a newspaper printed at the time of a historical event could give students a better understanding of how people living at that time viewed the event.

    This site uses resources housed by the New York State Library. It is a lesson plan using newspaper articles from two New York newspapers from the late 1800s. The lesson plan includes the documents as well as activities using them. In addition to being a useful lesson plan for the Gilded Age and labor movements, it also serves a model for those wondering how to set up a unit using primary documents.

    This site is s group of newspaper and magazine articles from African American issues to cartoon historical articles. It includes magazines for fashion in the 30's and earlier. It has movie reviews and music history. In other words, just about anything in history that one would like to look up in the newspaper or magazines. These sites are very good for students to see first hand information about a particular time in history. These kinds of sites can be used for almost any kind of project the teacher can think up. The teacher librarian needs to be aware of at least a few of these different kinds of sites.

    This is a cool site. It has newspapers that were actually written during the Civil War era. It has them listed by year. The man who teaches next to me does an awesome job of teaching the Civil War each year. A good project for the kids might be to have them in groups or pairs and each research a particular time line during the war. They may not even believe newspapers existed back then so this site would be a good one to lead them toward to do research. Each paper has pictures and writing.

    This site is presented by the Virginia Center for Digital History and the University of Virginia Library. It showcases two communities during the Civil War. One count was in the north, and one was in the south. It provides an interesting case study of life on both sides of the war. Students and teachers can use this site to compare maps, letters, diaries, newspaper articles, speeches and records in both communities. It also organizes the war into three eras: the eve of war, the war years, and the aftermath.

    This site has a lot of primary source documents about Wisconsin history, but which certainly pertain to the rest of the Midwest, too. The one linked to is of an 1838 newspaper article about the first careful investigation of effigy mounds undertaken in Wisconsin. Certainly this could be useful when studying Native American history, state history, or geography.

    This website is a veritable prize for teaching the Civil War. There are full page scans of every weekly issue of Harper's Weekly during the Civil War. Beautiful line art and verbose writing style included for free. The site has Google ads, but no pop-ups at least, and the content is valuable enough to be worth wading through those. The site is easily navigated, so that isn't difficult. Great for writing Civil War DBQs.

    The Newseum is an actual brick and mortar museum located in Washington, D.C. Its website contains an eye-opening feature called "Today's Front Pages," which publishes front pages from newspapers around the world (see link on the right sidebar). Excellent source for teaching Media Literacy by demonstrating how differences in societies and cultures frame news stories differently. Especially fitting for journalism and social studies classes. Varies from many of my chosen sites because it displays current primary sources.

    This interesting site provides photographs, letters, newspaper articles, quotes, and famous speeches all related to the life of Gandhi. While the text is probably best suited to middle and high school students, younger students could use other parts of the site to learn about Gandhi for biography projects or studies of passive resistance.

    This site is a WEALTH of information on the history of the United States. It includes letters, documents, photos, audio and video that are all in the public domain (and there fore also legal to use) since they are all owned by the U.S. government. Using the search box will yield many results. My favorite search on this site is to find primary sources about the great depression. A search tip: be sure to click "gallery view" when you look at your search results. It helps you know what type of source you are looking at.

    This site covers historical topics, contains historical images and has a special teacher page with lessons and materials that are ready to use in the classroom. I love this site and use it often especially when I need some extra material for historical holiday celebrations in the classroom.

    This website has loads of links to primary sources on US history. I like the flexibility of the "more browse options" to find collections by time period, place or source format in addition to the browse by topic option. Source formats include books, periodicals, photos and film, some dating back to the 1400's. The "today in history" link is a good place to find daily tidbits to throw into lessons.

    This site from the Library of Congress provides a vast collection of primary sources for educators. I like the way the site is organized so you can browse the collections by topic. One of the collection highlights is the Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Abraham Lincoln. This is a collection of more than 11,100 items donated to the Library of Congress in 1953. This collections includes Lincoln's life, Presidency, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Primary sources available from the Lincoln era include newspapers, Lincoln's law papers, sheet music, broadsides, prints, cartoons, maps, drawings, letters, and campaign tickets.

    There is a lot on this website for students to search for primary and government documents. They are organized by topic or you can search for specifically what you need. This site is a great resource . There are many different ways you could use the documents found here.

    This site provides information that teachers from many different disciplines could use in their classrooms. There's information about literature, the environment, immigration, as well as culture and sports. There's also a link specifically for teachers where they can get lesson plans and ideas for their classroom.

    There are some great sites at this source. Their topics run from Women's history to Native American history. There are even maps. This would be a big help for upper elementary to 12th grade.

    This site contains a wealth of resources for teachers. They have primary source sets that include teacher resource booklets and lesson plans. One of the sets I found useful was one on the Constitution that included newspaper articles and original documents that trace the drafting and adoption of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This set would be useful for all grade levels for Constitution day materials in September. There was also an interesting primary source set on Thanksgiving that had paintings and photographs showing historical perspectives on American Thanksgiving traditions.
  • Crystal Knutson on 02 Oct 10
     
    While the Library of Congress website is vast, I found the Classroom Resources section under the Teachers heading to be beneficial for my current position as a third grade classroom teacher; although many of the items I saw could be used at any elementary grade level. I found the Primary Sources by State and Immigration Challenges to be beneficial to my current unit in my district's SS program. The Thanksgiving link would be interesting for the students to see and discover things they didn't know before celebrating this holiday. I'll definitely use this site with my students, because it goes so well with what we're studying. Plus, it creates a more 'real' experience than their textbook allows.

gender research stereotypes

shared by Sandra Kriz on 11 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • According to Chapman (1997), boys are about eight times more likely than girls to call out answers and not be rebuked by the teacher, creating a classroom dominated by the more aggressive style of males.
  • Girls read more than boys, but they choose narrative fiction to the neglect of other genres. Simpson (1996) argues that boys' nonfiction reading is more "congruent with the acquisition of social power and financial success" since secondary school and the workplace demand the reading of expository and information texts and the writing of reports, procedures, explanations and arguments.
  • Application to curriculum design  Draw from nonfiction genres (e.g., newspapers, web pages and nonfiction texts) for reading aloud and booktalks.  Encourage resistant readings of literature in Literary Club and Socratic Seminar texts.  Find ways to redesign tradition research essays so that students write debate speeches, briefings and persuasive letters.  For example, collaborate with a math teacher to turn a biography report about a mathematician into an investigation in which students research job opportunities in math or science, then write a résumé (e.g., Job Search: Mathematician).  Students benefit from enriched understanding of applied math or science career opportunities while they are reading and writing in workplace genres.

  • Seek opportunities for students to experience, rather than just read, about careers (e.g., Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work).  I sponsored our 6th grade students' participation in Hewlett Packard's e-mail mentoring program in which year-long one-to-one mentor relationships were created through e-mail between students and HP employees, a program that can be replicated using local parents.
