This site offers a complete lesson plan using video clips from C-Span’s American Presidents program on John F. Kennedy. The lesson encompasses three sections: his legacy, assassination, and conspiracy. Each portion includes links to video clips along with questions for follow up discussion. The videos require QuickTime Player. At the time of this review, the videos would only load on PC and not MAC computers.
In the Classroom
Share on your interactive whiteboard (or projector) as part of any study about John F. Kennedy, the 1960’s, or American presidents. Create a link for students to watch at home, then use as part of your classroom discussions. Have students create timelines (with music, photos, videos, and more) using Capzles (reviewed here) to document the life of John F. Kennedy.
At Home
Share this site with your student as an excellent resource for researching the life of John F Kennedy.
