School History Websites Spartacus USA History British History Second World War ... Spartacus Educational : Established in September 1997, the Spartacus Educational website provides a series of history encyclopedias. Titles currently include : 1900-1945. Entries usually include a narrative, illustrations and primary sources. The text within each entry is linked to other relevant pages in the encyclopedia. In this way it is possible to research individual people and events in great detail. The sources are also hyper-linked so the student is able to find out about the writer, artist, newspaper and organization that produced the material. Thinking History : Ian Dawson's Thinking History website is an attempt to make good quality active learning ideas freely available to teachers all round the country. A book of activities has never been a practical proposition but a website offers the chance to build up a menu of activities. It also includes several examples of the same model of activity for different topics. Thinking History will build up slowly over the next couple of years, starting with a dozen activities in September and then adding others each month, hopefully including activities submitted by teachers. Ask an Historian A group of history websites are now offering a new service to its visitors. In future people will be able to ask a panel of experts, questions about history. The panels include teachers, historians, authors and researchers with expert knowledge of the period. Where possible, people with actual experience of these events, will also join the various panels. The following sections are currently available:

COOL TEACHING LESSONS AND UNITS ALONG WITH RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Short Cuts: WEBQUEST UNITS RESEARCH MODULES ONLINE PROJECTS READY MADE UNITS ... STUDENT RESOURCES Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Project-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research. Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve students in activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating. There is no glitz in this page - just links to wonderful ways for your students to learn. Enjoy!

72. Personal And Social Identity History Exercise I read quite a few students’ responses to this activity and there is truly The only time we learned about our history/ancestry was black history Month. http://students.ed.uiuc.edu/lharris2/MyEPort/DIVERSITY PART TWO.htm

Home Coursework Philosophy Page Teaching Standards Technology Standards Part Two: Diversity I read quite a few students’ responses to this activity and there is truly a norm. Many of the individuals on this course are white, middle – upper-middle class females. Many of them stated they lived somewhat “sheltered” lives growing up. Not having too much interaction with other people unlike them – rather it was people of color, poor to working class, and/or from other religious denominations. It saddens me that their parents were not promoters of diversity even if they claim they are not “racist” or “prejudice.” If we as future teachers continue on this trend, then our kids will continue to suffer greatly. Schools I attended and day camps/after-school programs did not particularly promote oppressive practices forthright. The grammar school I attended did not realize that they did not promote multiculturalism to youth who were Black, yet lived in an area surrounded by Non-Black humans. I think back and remember that there were just a few students who attended my school who were not Black. They were usually placed in classes with other students that were considered “Slow” or “EMH.” I do not remember what EMH stood for, but as cruel youth, we heard and stated it stood for “Empty Moon Heads.” I truly think a teacher began that label. Well, I guess my school promoted and supported oppressive practices after all. The only time we learned about our history/ancestry was Black History Month. And trust me, after February 28

McWhorter EMAIL RESPOND PRINT Y ou brought me here in CHAINS! You brought me here in CHAINS!" James Baldwin exclaimed to a white interviewer in the late 1960s, summing up the sense of our history that most blacks have. Yes, we pay lip service to our having "survived" in this country, but the image most resonant to us is being brought here packed in ships, treated like animals for 250 years, and pushed to the margins of society for the next 100. Many black thinkers downplay even the "survival," depicting modern black America as a variation on slavery and dismissing the progress we've made since the 1960s by condemning successful blacks as "house niggers." The result: for most of us, "black history" summons images of endless degradation—slavery, the quick demise of Reconstruction, Plessy v.

Pastor, Solid Rock Church of God in Christ Indian Orchard, MA July 23, 2005 Using Fiction So, how do we teach our children about a past that is sometimes difficult to speak out loud? One way to get young children interested in African and African American history is through fiction. Use that list that your public library only puts out in February to come up with some exciting reading for the youth in your life. Stories like Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry and Sounder can make the past real for teenagers. Black writers have begun writing historically based books for younger children as well, so you need not wait until your child is in middle school to get them started. Interviewing our Elders Rev.
