The Mississippi Writers and Musicians website is a helpful and easy-to-use resource that now includes not just authors and musicians, but also artists and actors from Mississippi. It is run by the Mississippi Writers and Musicians group. The site features short biographies, facts, and information about the lives and work of many famous Mississippians. The University of Mississippi first developed it, but now it offers even more. This is a great place for students to learn about the people who have shaped Mississippi's culture in writing, music, art, and film.

Give students a list of fun facts (e.g., "Won a Grammy," "Wrote a bestselling novel") and a list of names from the site. Students can use the website to match each fact with the correct person. Each student selects one writer, musician, artist, or actor from the site and creates a trading card that includes their photo, a brief biography, a notable achievement, and a quote or fun fact. Have them use paper or a template from Canva, reviewed here. Have students research one person from the site and write an imagined interview, with 5-7 questions and answers. They can role-play the interview in pairs or write it as a dialogue script.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This is a web game for kids which explores Van Gogh's paintings and style, complete with examples and commentary. The structure of the site encourages students to understand both what and why Van Gogh created his impressionist masterpieces. Great supplementary activity for an art class, or an independent exploration for the extra-curious.

In the Classroom
Use the images on this site to create a visual discovery activity in your classroom, introducing the topic of prehistoric cave drawings. Select 3-5 images from this site, choosing the most powerful and moving images. Placing the images on individual slides, allow students 1-2 minutes to observe each image. During that time period, students should be taking notes based on what they observe, predict and infer about each image. The more powerful and detailed the image is, the more information students can take out. After the class has observed all the chosen images, have a class discussion based on the notes students took. This is a great way to introduce content in a way that gets students thinking, as well as avoiding the typical lecture format.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Native American Studies section of Harvard Library's K-12 teacher toolkit curates open and freely available resources for teaching Native American history, cultures, and contemporary experiences. A featured resource is the Smithsonian's Native Knowledge 360'?, which provides educators and students with Native-centered perspectives that challenge incomplete or stereotypical accounts of Indigenous history. The broader toolkit also includes subject-area pages, curriculum resources, open educational-resource repositories, children's literature, media-search guidance, educational technology, and professional-development materials. The guide is designed as a starting point rather than a complete unit, so teachers should preview each external resource for grade level, cultural accuracy, accessibility, account requirements, and continued availability.

In honor of Nelson Mandela's 67 years of public service, challenge students to complete 67 minutes of acts of kindness. Students can help younger students, create thank-you cards for school staff, organize classroom materials, or participate in a community service project. Have students create an acrostic poem using the letters in "MANDELA" or design a poster highlighting Mandela's character traits and achievements. Encourage students to include quotes, illustrations, and examples from his life. Use the Mandela Day theme of service to plan a class project that benefits the school or community. Students can collect supplies for a local organization, create welcome kits, organize a recycling campaign, or develop a kindness initiative. Have students reflect on how their project connects to Mandela's belief that everyone has the power to create positive change.
