Some of the subtopics it goes into are the attitudes, clothing, food, education, work, housing, rituals, etc. This allows your students to be able to research areas they are interested in or specific topics you assign for them to master. There is great information and it is at a level that a third grader could appreciate and understand.

It is by social studies for kids and is written so that your students can get a better understanding of what really happened and this segment of history back then. Some links it allows you to click on and learn about include but are not limited to: slavery, foes of slavery, remembering slavery: those who survived tell their stories, black resistance: Slavery in the U.S., etc. Some of the information is presented in articles, others gives you a contrast of slavery back then and how it is present today. I love all of the different ways the information is offered allowing for all sorts of learning styles to participate and get engaged in the content.

The Navajo People: [] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This website is all about the Navajo People and their culture. This website also mentions where specifically in the United States they lived, their population, and even their language! This website includes information on WWII, even the code that some of the Navajo people used. I think students will find this website to be very interesting!

The American Southwest: [] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This website is all about the Southwest region of the United States. Students will learn the geography, climate, archaeology, history, and more! I think this will be a website that students will be interested in going to because you can learn everything you want to know about the American Southwest.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">3. The American Southwest: [] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This website is also about the American southwest, but more specifically, this website features pictures and factual information about National Landmarks in the Southwest. Since we do not live in the United States, I think students would love to see the pictures from this area. The climate is very different from Florida! I think students would especially be interested in “Natural Arches.”
