1. Great Ideas!: Television and Violence by George Ventura. This site had several very practical lessons that could be used across the curriculum. The lesson incorporated "everyday" or "real life" situations into the learning activity.
   
2. The National Election Studies National Education Studies. I found this site to be particularly useful and timely. It offers many resources to help in the teaching of elections and the complex data that is associated with them. The wide range of topics help to make this site practical. Although there are no individual lessons, it provides the background information for teachers to incorporate information into their own lessons.
   
3. The French and Indian War or the Seven Year's War by Larry Roux. This page and its links, give a brief look at how the French and Indian War was not as clean and pretty as presented in regular U.S. history books. This demonstrates that you can't trust everything you read in a textbook and that outside sources are important.
   
4. From Revolution to Reconstruction by The Team Sponsoring. This is an online history of the U.S. from the American Revolution to Reconstruction. There is also a connection to modern American history, useful for both students and teachers.
   
5. The Berlin Wall Falls by Patch American High School, Stuttgart, Germany. This site gives students an update on how and why the Berlin Wall was built and how and why it came down. There is also a personal account of one German student's emotional experience when the wall came down.
