HISTORY AND MORE
HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES/
GEOGRAPHY
Written by one of the authors of The Well Trained Mind, Susan Wise Bauer. It makes sense that your children should learn history as a story, told chronologically and full of interesting tales about great men and women.

What a beautiful and memorable way to learn history through literature! Learning history through living books will excite you and your children.

This book is a another fun way for your children to learn history. Sonlight has just gotten this updated version of this 1997 edition and has eliminated the racial slurs.

Historic Documents such as: The Magna Carta, The Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Constitution, Inaugural Addresses, and many more!

"Congress of Websites," created and hosted
by the Independence Hall Association in Philadelphia. A lot of neat stuff!

This site is great! American Revolution, Civil War, World Wars, 20th Century Topics, the Rise of Hitler and Biographies of Nazi Leaders, Presidents of US including Impeachment Proceedings on 3 of our Presidents, well you get the point...very informative!

This is pretty neat and easy to read. Just click on what history you are interested in and then find the topic. It gives you a paragraph or so, then if you want the full text, click on that. It's great! It's like reading a book report.

A lot of info to process...don't go here "just looking"; go here when you are looking for something in particular. Otherwise, a very good site.

Many speeches and related documents such as: "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King (Aug 28, 1963), or even "The Aims of Zionism" by Richard Gottheil (Nov 1, 1898). You can search by speaker, title, date, and issue.

U.S. Department of Education posts lessons on how to teach geography. Teach your kids learning their direction and the position on the Earth's surface, what's the climate like, etc. They have also made this available to download.
