World History for Us All is a comprehensive model curriculum for teaching world history in middle and high schools.
“Grave of the Fireflies” is a powerful Japanese anime film set at the end of World War II. Subtitled in English, “Grave of the Fireflies” tells the story of an adolescent boy, Seita, responsible for the care of his younger sister, Setsuko, after his mother is killed in the firebombing of Kobe and their father in service of the Japanese Army.
Great historical fiction; especially for high school students.
This is a short novella of about 100 pages that Voltaire wrote in 1759 from his estate in southern France. It is a good vignette of late French Enlightenment thinking, and always makes a good contrast to Rousseau’s early Romanticism.
If you ask my candid opinion, I think that educational computer games and other little supplemental activities like these that suburban parents buy for their children are a major factor behind the achievement gap – so don’t hesitate for a second to introduce them to your urban children just because they don’t fit in with a scripted curriculum.
An educational resource for introducing archaeology into a curriculum. This can be a fun and exciting way to do ancient civilizations. Includes resources, information on teacher workshops, and links to other websites of interest.
Created by a New York high school history teacher, this website is a tremendous resource for U.S. history, European history, or economics classes. This website includes actual prior AP exams organized by category; links to numerous resouces; and ideas for assignments such as a mock trial to impeach Andrew Jackson, among others. It's a helpful resource for both teachers and students.
TONS of lesson plans on a wide number of subject areas. Specifically there is a good
amount for US/World/Ancient history. The lessons have clear objectives and give
concrete methods for guiding students through them. We have used 1 of the lessons
this year (which was on the "Road to the American Revolution") and it was highly
successful.
