Resource Blog: Social Studies
Resource Link: https://teachinghistory.org/
For this resource blog, I found this website that is a gold mine for teachers K-12 whom are teaching social studies. There are separate sections for the separate grades that one teaches that takes you to the grade specific part of the site. In those separate sections, there are lesson plan ideas, list of good primary sources to share with students, videos of professional speakers, and even has some online activities that students could do. Another great tool that this site had was the ability to communicate
with historians and what the sites call a Master Teacher, someone who has been teaching for a while and draw from their knowledge and experience.

First, I am glad to see that the website offers every grade. And once you click on the grade that you are interested in, it provides resources and lessons. My question would be, are these lessons so specific that they would ever come up in a middle school setting or do teachers need to roughly plan a lesson around the website material before hand?
