5 Dropin Activity Links:
1 – We
Didn’t Start the Fire Activity –
In this activity students are asked
to rewrite the lyrics to Billy Joel’s We
Didn’t Start the Fire. IT give the students two sites to view videos. The first is to
the original music video and the second is to a video created by a teacher to
show images with every event he talks about.

Countries –
Here, the students will fill in

5 – Facebook
Profiles –
This site allows students to create
‘facebook profiles’ of the kings and queens from the Age of Absolutism in
Europe. This site would be able to be
adapted to any person or time period. It
gives students some popular encyclopedia sites to use, but also allows them to
use their own.

Bibliography/Review Links
This site offers a review of 5
popular clipart sites. All of them are
great sources for teachers or students to use. However, depending on what you
want, you might be better off at one particular site.

Comparing three of the top sites for
storing and printing photographs, this site lets the viewer see some of the

Activities:
This site will allow my students to
blog about their term papers. They will
be asked to post about different aspects of their biography as we go throughout
the semester. As I was creating this, I
realized it would make grading certain aspects easier. There will be sufficient
time for students to complete this while at school.

This site offers multiple
components. The first thing you will notice is the rubric on whether or not the

Holocaust Museum. The third section is
an activity for students to complete while visiting the Holocaust Museum.
