Investigating the Vietnam War
Spartacus Educational.
This site was designed to help students research projects about the Vietnam War. It is one of the 20 sections on Spartacus Educational, an encyclopedia of English and U.S. History created by John Simkin, a history teacher. The Vietnam site links to more than 100 sites, including timelines, personal accounts, statistics, visual images, and biographies of figures such as Lyndon B. Johnson and Ho Chi Minh. A smaller, annotated list links to 22 recommended sites. The site provides students with 100–1000 word biographies and email addresses of 11 people willing to be interviewed about their involvement in the war. The site currently offers two collections of study questions, one produced at the University of California, Berkeley, and one produced by Simkin. Two professional historians host a discussion about the history of the war and help students explore the topic. This is a good resource for understanding the connections between personal experience and public narratives of war.

A Curriculum of United States Labor History for Teachers
Illinois Labor History Society.
This curriculum addresses labor politics and economics from the colonial period to the present day. Conceived and written by James D. Brown, Jr., “in cooperation with teachers from the metro Chicago area and local union members,” it is divided into 11 chronological sections, each comprised of several elements: a 100–200-word overview; an inventory of major themes, episodes, and concepts; and a feature entitled “Integrating Labor History into Effective Teaching of the Period.” This last portion recommends questions and lessons for students, and, for several sections, provides primary source materials. Thus “The Growth of a New Nation” outlines a lesson that asks students to compare Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence with an 1829 essay by George H. Evans—a founder of New York’s Working Man’s Party—entitled “The Working Men’s Declaration of Independence.” The 11 sections emphasize gains achieved by organized labor and invite teachers to “highlight the stark contrast between today’s working environment and the relationship between workers and owners of the past.” Includes a list of 44 “Significant People in America’s Labor History”; a 16-title bibliography; a link to an international news desk providing daily stories dealing with labor groups and issues; and additional material on Illinois labor history. Some sections of the curriculum are thinner than others. More curiously, the site does not furnish any primary documents from the 20th century, and generally relies more on lists of events and issues than the sort of narrative prose that can enliven the past.
