The Library of Congress has created a site which presents information and images from early American adverstising efforts - 1850-1920. The site uses the Library's standard HTML layout, and as usual, the stars of the exhibit are the archival images that have been digitized and included. If advertising is a measure of society's interests, this site offers a unique glimpse into the past.

tag(s): advertising (24), industrialization (13), news (223), newspapers (87)

In the Classroom

Share this site on an interactive whiteboard or projector during a unit on the Industrial Revolution. The site shows the growth of the economy and its impact on the private sector in a way students most likely have not thought about. Separate students into cooperative learning groups and have them create advertisements for the many inventions and technologies that were developed during the time period. Use the site for inspiration!

Much of the content in this Library of Congress site about Thomas Edison and his phonographs is beyond the scope of middle schoolers. However, there are sound recordings from the original machines that let students listen to the product of Edison's work, and the basic biographical information will be useful for those studying inventors. Explore this one in some depth; there's a lot here.

tag(s): inventors and inventions (89)

In the Classroom

Download some of the sounds and recordings from the database, and use them as part of a learning center during a unit on Inventions & Inventors. Have students listen to the recordings (make sure to include headphones) on classroom computers, writing a short reflection afterwards about what they heard and what their impression was. Students could also compare and contrast the quality of the recordings, noting the vast differences in technology between then and now. This would be a very interesting resource for a US history classroom!

Boston National Historical Park explores Boston's central role in the American Revolution through historic sites connected by the Freedom Trail, including Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, the Paul Revere House, the Bunker Hill Monument, and the Charlestown Navy Yard. The site provides historical background, virtual tours, educational resources, Junior Ranger activities, maps, photographs, and information about significant events such as the Siege of Boston and the fight for American independence. This resource is valuable for teaching American history, government, civics, and historical inquiry while helping students connect important Revolutionary War events to the places where they occurred.

tag(s): american revolution (97), boston (10), virtual field trips (148)

In the Classroom

Have students use the site's maps and photographs to explore the Freedom Trail. Students select one historic location and create a postcard or travel brochure with Canva Edu, reviewed herehighlighting its importance during the American Revolution. Students choose a historical figure associated with Boston's Revolutionary history, such as Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, or Abigail Adams. They can write and perform an interview in podcast form using Buzzsprout, reviewed here in which they answer questions from that person's perspective. Assign small groups a site within Boston National Historical Park, such as the Old North Church, Faneuil Hall, or the Bunker Hill Monument. Students can research the location and present how it contributed to the Revolutionary War.

Follow the Pilgrims from religious conflict in England to Holland and finally across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower in 1620. This National Park Service reading explains the difference between Puritans and Separatists, why the Pilgrims left England, the challenges of organizing their voyage, their unexpected arrival at Cape Cod, and the creation of the Mayflower Compact. The page also includes the complete text of the Compact and a list of signers, providing teachers with a useful primary-source component for close reading and civic connections. The straightforward chronological narrative works well as background reading before lessons about Plymouth Colony, colonial government, religious freedom, or early English settlement.
This site includes advertising.

What happened to the colonists who disappeared from Roanoke Island? This National Park Service resource introduces students to the enduring mystery of the Lost Colony through a chronological set of readings about the English voyages of 1584, 1585, 1587, and John White's return in 1590. Students can follow the changing goals and difficulties of the expeditions, including relationships with Carolina Algonquian peoples, shortages, conflict, English-Spanish rivalry, and the clues left behind when the settlement was abandoned. A linked section on major theories asks readers to weigh evidence for possibilities such as hurricanes, famine and disease, Spanish attack, or relocation to the Chesapeake Bay, Albemarle Sound, or Croatoan. The combination of historical narrative, maps, images, quotations, and competing theories makes the resource especially useful for evidence-based history activities.

tag(s): colonial america (86), national parks (30)

In the Classroom

Assign small groups one theory from the Major Theories page and have them create an evidence chart listing facts that support the theory, facts that weaken it, and unanswered questions. Groups can then conduct a class hearing in which they argue for the explanation best supported while acknowledging uncertainties. Have students map Roanoke Island, Croatoan or Hatteras Island, Albemarle Sound, and the Chesapeake Bay with Google My Maps, reviewed here, adding notes that explain why each location matters to a theory about the colonists' fate. The NPS theories section specifically considers possible movement toward each of these locations. Invite students to examine the historical maps, illustrations, and other visual evidence alongside the written narratives, then annotate what each source reveals and what it cannot prove. Students can use Image Annotator, reviewed here, to create an annotated image that distinguishes observation from inference.

Explore layers of American history through the stories preserved at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The site examines the Algonquian-speaking people of the region, the English voyages and mystery of the Lost Colony, the Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony during and after the Civil War, archaeology, and later developments such as early radio experiments. Teachers will find history and culture articles, photographs, John White watercolors, short ranger videos, a 29-minute virtual learning program for grades 4-8, field trip programs, and classroom education resources. The education section includes options for in-person, classroom, and virtual learning, as well as lesson plans on the Lost Colony and the Freedmen's Colony.

Have students work in pairs to investigate the site's Lost Colony theories, sort the evidence supporting or challenging each explanation, and defend which theory they find most convincing in a short evidence-based discussion. The NPS presents multiple proposed explanations and discusses strengths and weaknesses of the evidence connected with them. Have students collaborate on a geographic investigation using Google My Maps, reviewed here, to mark Roanoke Island and other locations important to the English voyages, proposed Lost Colony movements, and the Civil War-era Freedmen's Colony. Ask each group to add short explanations connecting geography to historical events.

If you teach World History, this is the perfect site to get some extra ideas to make your unit more interesting for your students. In the blog, you will find information about Eleanor of Aquitaine, Castles Gardens, Saint George the Dragon Slayer, and others. If you have weak readers in the class, you may want to use Read Ahead, reviewed here to create a guided reading activity for the blog articles. Enhance learning by having small groups of students choose a topic from the blog for further investigaion and then report about it to the other groups using Genially, reviewed here where students can choose their type of multimedia presentation. Have you heard about the novel A Proud Taste for Scarlett and Miniver, the life story of Eleanor of Aquitaine (who married two kings and gave birth to two kings) by E.L. Konisburg? It is a perfect fit to add historical fiction to your history classroom.

Though the title is probably misleading, this site's collection of information about the presidencies of our nation's leaders has plenty of facts, but little context. One of the more interesting features are the links to historical documents from different presidencies. This one's useful for very basic research, but it lacks the "who did what" aspects that can make history really interesting.

tag(s): presidents (151)

In the Classroom

Because this is a very organized presentation of the presidents, it would be extremely easy to compare presidents about very specific points. This would be useful in a class discussion of political party differences, campaign spending & finance, and legislation decisions. For comparison purposes, we recommend using an online Venn Diagram to be used on the interactive whiteboard or projector. Use an online tool such as Interactive Two Circle Venn Diagram (reviewed here).

Play these interviews within your own classroom to supplement text or lecture material about Vietnam, Civil rights or Women's Rights. Play the interviews over the interactive whiteboard or projector, allowing students to follow along with the transcripts for better comprehension. One way to assess what students are hearing and learning from the interviews is to have students create an online graphic to share using Visme. This would be an excellent resource for a US history course.
