A Couple Useful Sites

This week I found a few good sites that could be great resources for my students and me.

From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog, I found easynotecards.com. This website provides ready-made flashcards on a multitude of topics including: the US Civil War and 50 states and capitals. The site makes note cards from common books and textbooks. You also have the ability to make notecards of your own. This could be a great resource for providing extra help to your students and making notecards accessible to all students.

Art Titzel tweeted a great American History song list on Spotify (http://open.spotify.com/user/atitzel/playlist/2YCqqFLrpIQnw6oLpLQLPy). It includes reading of historical documents like letters and speeches with appropriate music and songs about historical events. This playlist could really help my students who are more musically and auditory inclined. These songs could also be supplemented by a handout of the lyrics/historical document for students to follow along, making it easier for ELLs’ comprehension.
