I Hear You Tyla- I am just figuring out how to Blog..... and just sending my lesson plan. I certainly have empathy for all those kids who seem to wait until the last minute to get things done. I honestly have done a lot of reading- the internet has wonderful things that are primary source images and entries like The Library of Congress Panoramic Photographs and An American Time Capsule: Three Centuries of Broadsides and Other Printed Ephemra. I especially loved reading the journal entries from the Library of Congress American Life Histories: Manuscripts from Federal Writers' Project. It really helped me understand the feelings of some of the real people involved in this historic era. As was said in one of today's blogs we have to remember that although the institution of slavery is 'wrong' the people were often acting on the state of their lives and times. I hope you have time to check out some of these pages if you haven't already. Paula
