Caitlin found the following online resources and I thought I’d post her email message to me and the links within it to the MY blog, as she suggested. Here goes:
“Hey Lawrence,
So here’s some websites that a teacher at my school pointed me towards. The first is a powerpoint site that has pre-made power points that you can use for your work. One of the examples he showed me was a pre-made ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ gameshow ppt……with the format all set up. It would be a GREAT review piece (and in fact he uses it as such!) If you look on the site they have almost every single topic you could possibly want which is great!

The next is a great site on lesson plans and some resources that you can use. Its got a specific ‘teacher’ link as well as students, etc. It looks pretty good 🙂

The next is the BBC history website! I’m not sure if its going to work (I couldn’t get the videos working) but hypothetically it could be good if it works!
The next is a make-it-yourself wordsearch website….these are always fun!

The next is a treasure-chest of graphic organizers!! It looks SO good!

The next is videos specific to Ancient Rome (which won’t help us right now as most of them have already done that unit!) but who knows….maybe its good to keep for your resources for next year?

I hope that these help or that you like them! I’m most excited about the power point site and the graphic organizers one myself.
Cait”
Thanks for passing these links along. Looks like some great, time saving stuff here.
