How It Works

A haunting, sometimes disturbing site that chronicles the experiences of women in the holocaust. This is an important story to tell.

In the Classroom

Teachers may want to think carefully about how and when it is presented.

The Seneca Falls Convention

— Library of Congress

8-11 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://senecafallscoverage.tumblr.com/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:48 share

How It Works

This site offers this collection of newspaper clippings and other information about the famous 1848 women’s rights convention.

In the Classroom

Introduce the copy of the Seneca Falls Declaration to students via projector before covering the topic deeper with the newspaper clippings hosted on the site. Assign cooperative learning groups a newspaper article, making sure that every group has a different article. Have students analyze their articles, preferably with the help of a guided worksheet. (For help making graphic organizers, try Graphic Organizer Maker, <a href="/single.cfm?id=7688">reviewed here</a>. After students are done, have them present each of their articles, focusing on bias and perspective as well as facts covered in the story. This is a great way to teach students how to analyze and summarize as well as indirectly cover the important content. American History teachers will appreciate this one!

How It Works

This is the Army’s official history of the Omaha beach invasion effort and subsequent progress inland. The site is entirely text, written as adult-level military history. There’s plenty of material here - and in other corners of this vast site - for the patient reader.

In the Classroom

Use the maps and images offered at the bottom of the site to aid presentations and lectures about D-day. The images are in black and white, but are still useful for discussing troop movements and the geography of the land and the battle scenery.

How It Works

This is a collection of primary documents from the World War II era stretching from Neville Chamberlain’s "peace in our time" declaration to the Japanese and German surrender documents. It’s a great resource for studying history based on documentary evidence.

In the Classroom

There are virtually tons of resources in this site about WWII. Use this site as a base point for students working on research projects based on some aspect of the war. Students can use it to garner ideas about a topic or find more information about a topic they already have. Be sure to post this on the teacher web page to allow students to access it both in and out of the classroom.

How It Works

Manuscripts from the Federal Writers’ Project (1936-40)

In the Classroom

Use quotes from the interview page as starters or "do nows" for when your kids first come into your classroom. Select the quote that seems most likely to get students thinking or even communicative and have them respond in writing or verbally their reactions to the quote. Students could be specifically looking at perspective, biases, point of view, context or really just the quote itself in their responses. This kind of a starter is great to open up class with because it focuses students on the topic as well as previews what class that day will be about.

The Haymarket Drama

How It Works

While this comprehensive site about the Chicago labor unrest of 1886 offers seemingly endless narrative, its most useful feature is probably the collection of archival images and photos from the period. These give students a far better feel for the passion of the era. There’s also plenty of research information.

In the Classroom

This site would be useful in a comparative study of labor history, or for a lesson on media reporting of news events.
