The Director of Rumsey's Lower School asked if I would query this listserv about ReadWorks. Do you use it? Do you find it helpful for students? Pros/Cons? etc.

Thank you,

Cross-posted; please excuse duplication.  Please forward as appropriate.

 

Everyone,

 

The link that authenticated our users via EZProxy to African American Historical Serials Collection yesterday is misdirecting today.  We are landing in an EBSCOhost database selection screen instead of the screen that gave us a choice between African American Historical Serials Collection and EBSCOhost.  I have reported this to support at OCLC (EZProxy) and EBSCO and will write again when the problem is solved and access is restored.  In the meantime, thank you for your patience.

 

Eric

Subject: [CASL-L] primary source documents

Hello to the collective wisdom of CASL,

 

A teacher/student teacher asked me to help research primary documents relevant to Antebellem America.  “Students will seek and cite quotes from slave narratives, pro-slavery, and abolitionist perspectives.”

 

I am directing her to the History Reference database on researchitct.org

We also have some print resources.

I have started to find relevant websites, but I don’t want to miss anything.

 

If anyone has done similar research projects with middle school and is willing to share some online tools, I would be happy to share what I have as well!

 

Thank you,

Marybeth
