[Rosa Hemphill]

Folks, I wonder if any of you have seen this site. It is late for this 
year, maybe too early for next. But this webpage(s) looks like it would 
provide great fodder for class projects in hisotry, music...

Subject: Free Online Resources for Teachers from the Library of Congress

More than 10 million digitized historical artifacts are available on the
Library of Congress' web site (http://www.loc.gov) ranging from ancient
manuscripts to Civil War maps, from classic blues recordings to
Coca-Cola commercials, from Dust Bowl photographs to Thomas Edison's
first films. These unique primary sources are the raw materials of
history, and bring students into close personal contact with the people,
places, and events of our nation's past. K-12 classroom teachers are
provided with tools to bring these collections to life on the Library's
Teachers page at: http://www.loc.gov/teachers.

Over 70 original lesson plans, all created and field-tested by master
teachers, provide easy ways to integrate primary sources into the
curriculum. Interactive activities, historical and cultural timelines,
and online feature presentations bring the expertise of the Library's
curatorial experts to bear on key historical issues, and provide
accessible introductions to major periods in our nation's growth.
Meanwhile, the Library offers in-person workshops, videoconferencing,
and other professional development opportunities to help teachers build
their skills and discover new ways to bring the power of primary sources
to their students.

All the materials on the Library of Congress' Teachers page are free to
all, with no subscription or login required, and new materials are added
on a regular basis.
