Grade Range: 8 - 11
This web site is from the PBS production of the same name, and is based on the book A History of US by Joy Hakim. It offers a multi-episode look at the achievements and tensions that have shaped the evolution of the United States throughout its history. The site includes timelines, quizzes, and numerous images in addition to the narrative text. The activities and videos require Flash, but the information is worth a visit.
