Recently I came across a couple of sites that I thought you might be interested in looking into more deeply. The first one is one that I have mentioned before.
Shmoop is a fun web site with lots of great connections in history, literature and music. March is
Women's History Month so
Shmoop has lined up some lessons just for this topic. It is also the month of the Ides of March! They have created a list of
7 Notorious Backstabbers that might be kind of fun for students. Check it out!
Secondly, the National Parks have created a lesson on
Roadside Attractions that you might find fun for your students. they have also developed an interactive online program. Sponsored by U.S. Regional Research and Education Networks, the National Park Service will present a free interactive online program series the week of April 14 for grades 3-12. It requires access videoconferencing technology or it can ve viewed via live or archived web streams. Events include:
- Homestead National Monument of America, Beatrice, NE
- Brown v Board National Historic Site, Topeka, KS
- Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, Stanton, ND
- Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Phillip, SD
