history standards. The links that are most interesting are those

| The Lessons Plan Page
http://www.lessonplanspage.com/ This is another well organized site that I visited. It is set
up in a fashion that allows you to pick and click on what you want to see
quite easily. It offers a java enhanced version as well as a non-java
enhanced version. It has all kinds of lesson plans for a variety
of grade levels. What I did not like about this site is although
it did have a lot of lesson plans, I read a couple of them and did not
like some of those that I read. The other thing that I did not like
about this page was that there is that there is a lot of advertising banners
all along it.

| Lesson Plans and Resources for Social Studies Teachers
http://www.csun.edu/%7Ehcedu013/index.html This site is actually intended for secondary education teachers.
As an elementary school teaching canadate, I would not use this site but
if I was a Social studies teacher in secondary school I would use this
site. The reason why I would is because it is a fantastic site.
The links are easy to follow to various different topics. The topics
include: Lesson Plans and Teaching Strategies,Online Activities,Teaching
Current Events, Other Social Studies Resources, National Council for the
Social Studies, Newsgroups and Mailing Lists, Social Studies School Service,
Educational Standards and Curriculum Frameworks, and a section on What's
New This Month. I really liked the site because it is updated regularly
and was not made and left. Plus the site has won various awards in
teaching, and awards for educational web sites.

| McREL’s Internet Connections-Lesson Plans and Activities
http://www.mcrel.org/connect/lesson.html This is a wonderful resource for teachers of all grades. The main
page is broken up into 8 subjects. My interest lies in reading, therefore,
I clicked onto the Language Arts title. The next page that came up
was amazing. It was a list of 29 possible areas in which to get sample
lesson plans. McREL’s web site is an award-winning education site,
and after spending over an hour looking around I can see why. This
site also explains how school districts may fit standards-based education
into the instructional time available to them. McREL’s also provides
the names and summaries of links to Internet resources for lesson plans,
activities and curriculum resources-linked with corresponding subject-area
content standards. This site proves to be a valuable resource center
for all teachers.

is a collection of lesson plans submitted by any teacher that is conncted
to this site. Over 10,000 educators view this web site each week.
This site is first broken down into grade levels and then again by subject
areas. Once the grade level and subject are chosen, a list of lesson
plans appear by title, name of issuer and date submitted. You then
have the opportunity to take a look and print out any lesson plan that
interests you. I chose kindergarten reading and came up with a list
of over 300 lesson plans! I found a fun and educational activity
to use with first graders thanks to a lesson plan created by Fannie Sexton
called Chocolate. The lesson plan is broken down into steps so that
the activity is easy to read and follow. It gives the general topics/themes,
prerequisite lessons, objectives, materials, stimulus questions, and much
more. This site is another helpful web site in which teachers should
take advantage.

place to start a search for lesson plans.

| Awesome Library
http://awesomelibrary.org/lesson.html The Awesome Library web site contained lesson
plans for grades Kindergarden through 12. The way this web site works is
kind of like a library, you pick a subject, a grade level, and a topic,
and the computer tries to set you up with a lesson plan based of your information.
I thought that this was a easy way to locate lesson plans and would be
great for parents and teachers to take advantage.

different lesson plans for different grade levels and it covers a wide
variety of choices of experiences.

http://www.kconnect.com/ This site was a network of educational resourses
and materials intended for educating younger students. This site includes
many lesson plans on several different areas of study that would be useful

The activities and lessons that I looked at appear to be fun, interesting,
and effective at driving home a point.
