• The American Revolution
  This site is linked to many other sites about the American Revolution. Some of the things I found especially interesting were midi files I can download with folk music from the time period, virtual tours of Betsy Ross’ house, actual spy letters, and an activity where kids write their own “spy letters” with invisible ink, a colonial stamp art project and lesson plans for the Revolution.

• The Oregon Trail
  This interactive Oregon Trail Map shows how, where and why pioneers travelled from Missouri to Oregon in 1843. There are graphics for each major stopping point along the trail, along with interesting facts about the various locations and people. The writing is limited and focused in a way that should not be overwhelming for ESL students. Rec. by John Cronfel.

• Theban Mapping Project
  Christian Science Monitor reporter Jim Regan says the new, improved Theban Mapping Project Web site offers up a stunningly detailed exploration of every known tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Even with a high-speed connection, he warns, materials may at times download slowly, but the extraordinary images and animated 3-D "walk-throughs" are well worth the wait.
  The largest Egyptological website on the internet, offering complete coverage of the Valley of the Kings in images, text and maps. Produced by the Theban Mapping Project and directed by Kent Weeks

• Underground Railroad--History of Slavery, Pictures, Information
  This website should be used by students who are learning about the Underground Railroad. It is interactive and asks students to pretend to be a slave and then make some tough choices. The best aspect is the music and actual photographs. One down side is the large amount of advertisements. Rec. by Melissa Flores
