History Resources:

1. media type="youtube" key="NIC4zom3w0g" height="315" width="420"

We chose to include this Youtube video as a motivational set. This teacher has created her own videos to teach content in a fun way. Her link may be found at HistoryTeachers.

2. http://www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/worldhistory/sumerians/preview.weml

Brain Pop is a really cool site for educational videos. They may also be used as a motivational set. The only drawback is that the site requires a subscription.

3. http://historicalthinking.ca/concepts

This resource is a good resource for connecting the current curriculum to updated methods of teaching history. It is based on 6 concepts to help foster critical thinking. It also contains some sample lesson plans.
