This site has links to everything you ever wanted to know about the Elizabeth world from a Compendium of Life in Elizabethan England to Heraldry to the transcripts of the trials of the Earls of Essex and Southampton. It also includes a link to a list of more than a hundred recommended sites for the Renaissance and Elizabethan times.Teachers of everything from world history to Shakespeare will find something to mine at this site. The Compendium of Elizabethan Life is especially interesting to those students who want to know "how things worked" 500 years ago in the time of Will Shakespeare. While this is a great research sourcefor Shakespeare, it is also good for drama, literature, and history for all sorts of activities.

This is a simple site, but extremely useful in helping students understand how "clothes make the man." Whether you are talking about costuming a play or how clothes represented classes in social studies, this site will enable students to see how clothing has helped make that "first impression" since the beginning of time.
The "History of Costume" was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by the publishing firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine. Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form. The total publication consisted of 125 pages, with four pictures per pages, for a total of 500 costume designs. These plates consisted of historical dress from antiquity to the end of the 19th century. This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion and for costume designers. One must be aware though, that these illustrations have a Victorian perspective to their designs. The last 35 pages consist of contemporary folk dress (c.1880) from most European, Asian, and African countries. These provides a source for researching plays which take place during the Victorian period, such as "The King and I" or "The Sea Gull". The original book was published in German, so at times, the English translation is confusing. This is especially noticeable in the contemporary folk dress plates where many of the countries mentioned now have different names or no longer exist.

Step inside one of Philadelphia's important Revolutionary-era landmarks with this concise virtual-tour stop from USHistory.org. The Carpenter's Hall page explains the building's connection to the First Continental Congress, the Carpenters' Company, architect Robert Smith, and the First Bank of the United States. Students can also examine details of the building's Georgian architecture, learn about people including George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and Patrick Henry, and explore several quick historical facts. An image and location map add visual context. Teachers should note that the page's tourism information is dated because it still says the building would be closed until December 2022. The official Carpenters' Hall site currently identifies the building as open to the public, so use that site for current visitor information.

Create collaborative mind maps (graphic organizers), concept maps, and Gantt charts using this online tool. See an example created by our editors. The example provides some ideas for using this online graphic organizer tool. Sign up with your email or download. The free version gives you 3 graphic organizers with sharing, publishing and collaboration.
tag(s): graphic organizers (60), mind map (31), study aid (177)
In the Classroom
Have students create graphic organizers in cooperative groups as a study guide for unit content, to collect information for a group research project, or show examples of an important concept. Share and compare the organizers on an interactive whiteboard or projector in class and allow classmates to suggest changes. Skills needed: join the site, practice with the tools (don't miss the notes feature!). Save up to 7 "private" maps and an unlimited number of "shared" maps.Make a map available online by saving and clicking "yes" for sharing, then clicking the Save by URL icon. This will copy the URL onto your computer's clipboard so you can paste it into a word doc or even your teacher web page. Imagine sharing several student made "study guides" in the days before the unit test.
Note that maps that are shared can be seen by the public, but not altered. You specify members who may collaborate and make alterations. For students to collaborate using this tool they must have individual memberships, requiring an email account. These memberships must be activated from their email. So, if students do not have email that is accessible from school, classroom use BY STUDENTS will be severely limited. Editor's note: we asked the Mindomo folks about spell check and student safety issues. They are still developing this tool, so they MIGHT address these issues at a later date.

Explore Spanish colonial history and Florida's coastal ecosystems through the National Park Service's Fort Matanzas National Monument website. The site focuses on the fortified coquina watchtower completed in 1742 to protect the southern approach to Spanish St. Augustine, and introduces nearly 300 acres of dunes, salt marsh, maritime forest, beaches, plants, and wildlife. Teachers will find ready-to-go educational materials especially useful, including lesson plans, virtual experiences, field-trip resources, Junior Ranger activities, short videos, and distance-learning opportunities. Lessons connect history, primary-source analysis, science, climate change, and environmental studies, with materials available for learners from prekindergarten through high school. Some additional park videos link to YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, you may not be able to view the videos.

Invite students to complete an exit-ticket argument answering whether Fort Matanzas should be preserved and what responsibilities citizens have toward historic and natural resources. Use the NPS discussion questions as a starting point, then have students cite one historical and one environmental piece of evidence from the site. Have students compare Fort Matanzas with another colonial fort by sorting similarities and differences in purpose, materials, geography, and defensive design, then record their conclusions with 2 and 3 Interactive Venn Diagrams by Class Tools, reviewed here. Students can finish by arguing which fort was best suited to its location.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
