NEH Site With Teacher Lesson Plans
One of the many nice things that comes with this blog is that I get people writing me with ideas for blog entries (which is the purpose of this site!) and the site mentioned below by the National Endowment of the Humanities is one of them. They also are looking for people to write a lesson plan on the NAACP and its impact on American politics, society and culture over the past century of its existence. If you are a K-12 teacher and interested in writing for EDSITEment or if you have an appropriate lesson, please contact Joe Phelan at JPhelan@neh.gov.

EDSITEment is a free web based educational resource for K-12 teachers from the National Endowment for the Humanties and the Verizon Foundation. EDSITEment offers lesson plans, student interactives, reviewed websites and monthly features on the subject areas of literature and language arts, foreign languages, art and culture and history and social studies. We are especially strong in the area of U.S. History and Govermnent, and American literature. EDSITEment's lesson are featured on the College Board Advanced Placement U.S. History homepage.
