Starting out with a little Social Studies... Did you see the news that Ken Burns has a new initiative for teachers? The Washington Post recently ran a story about it. Here's the gist of it:
"Created for sixth- to 12th-grade educators, the new one-stop destination houses a full library of classroom-ready content — aligned to state and national standards — about historical events and issues that Burns has highlighted in his films.“Ken Burns in the Classroom” includes hundreds of video clips, lesson plans, activity suggestions, discussion questions, handouts and interactives to help educators integrate the films into their classroom instruction.
I love the website with all of the Burns resources and learned about his site Unum, which I had never seen before. You can check out Unum here.
