The most valuable "gateway" to Web-based resources for teaching the U.S. History survey.
Particularly valuable for its annotated list of Web sites (www.history...), selection of sample
Web-based lessons (digital blackboard) and collection of primary documents emphasizing the experience
of "ordinary" Americans (many pasts) sections.
Perhaps the finest teaching Web site currently available. Contains excellent collections of primary
sources, teaching suggestions, sample lesson plans and examples of student projects.
Created to accompany the four part series on "America's journey through slavery," the "Resource
Bank" sections of this companion contain a wealth of relevant primary sources.
