Week One continued - Britannica's Teacher Resources - Don't Miss These!

I think I've finally found the gold on Britannica School Edition

The entry page for the three versions has a Teacher Resource Section at the bottom of the page

The Curriculum Materials are wonderful

You can search for standards from your state and find lessons that support them. Some of the lessons are tied to Britannica materials and others are not. There's a lesson to use with any Britannica Country page that would work well for my students. The web links come from sites like the National Endowment for the Humanities Edsitement, The Council for Economic Education's Econedlink, and others. It's like Britannica really did find the best of the Web here.

The current Maine Standards are there,  but there's also a Common Core Link.

I just found my new nest friend.

For an example try this link for 9th graders learning to make judgments about conflicting findings
