The Library takes an overview of African American experiences over the past 300 years in American history. Emphasis is on selected primary sources and their relationship to overall black and American development.
In the Classroom
Use the primary documents on this site to introduce the Slave trade AND the importance of analyzing primary sources in history. Print out 5-6 of the primary sources on this site assigning student groups one of the sources. Have groups analyze and interpret the content of their source with the intentions of presenting their results to the class briefly through a speech. After all the groups have presented their findings, each group will send one representative to the front of the class where students will defend their piece by its validity and reliability. Survivor style, the class will vote off documents in rounds until one piece is left standing - the most valid and reliable. An interesting way to combo both content and historical thinking skills in one class!Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Web Whiteboard is a free, collaborative, online whiteboard that doesn't require registration. All collaboration takes place in real-time, so there is no need to save work as you use the whiteboard. Just click the link to begin using the whiteboard tools. Share the URL with collaborators. Web Whiteboard also includes a direct link to create a whiteboard using Google Hangouts. Boards remain available for 21 days when using the free account. For more information, be sure to watch the one-minute demo for an overview of how to use this tool.
In the Classroom
Allow students to create collaborative drawings as responses to literature. They can map out the plot or themes, add labels, create character studies, and more. Share the finished products on an interactive whiteboard, projector, or your class website. Have a group of students create a drawing that another group can use as a writing prompt. Use Web Whiteboard as a brainstorming or sketching space as groups or the class share ideas for a major project or to solve a real world problem. Use this site with students in a computer lab (or on laptops) to create a drawing of the setting in a story as it is read aloud. As a creative assessment idea, have students draw out a simple cartoon with stick figures to explain a more complex process such as how a democracy works. If you are lucky enough to teach in a BYOT setting, use Web Whiteboard to demonstrate and illustrate any concept while students use the chat and drawing tools to interact in real time. If you are studying weather, have students diagram the layers of the atmosphere and what happens during a thunderstorm, for example. Introduce this tool to students who are working on group projects. Alternatively, have students use this to work as partners or as a small team to complete complex math problems or equations. Give students a problem by typing it on their board. Then have them work through it together, noting all of their reasoning and steps of work along the way.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
