A little more History

Part 2 of the History resources.

First World War.com

A great site for all things World War I related. This site will potentially be very helpful to me, as the first thing I will be teaching during my practicum will be “The Great War”. Tons of photos, maps, propaganda posters, vintage audio and video, among other valuable resources on this site.

Historical Atlas of the 20th Century

A good site to direct Social Studies students towards in order for them to establish a basic grasp of the major events of the 20th century. Information is laid out simply and is easy to understand. A good way for students to understand the global context when teaching them Canadian history.
