What can historical paintings tell us about the past? Are they trustworthy, or should we just chalk them up to an artist’s random doodles? This resource links to a "Genial.ly" presentation with a collection of images from John Lewis Krimmel (1786-1821) with interactive annotations. All of the images can be used in conjunction with studying the War of 1812 or Federal period in US History. The final slide includes four suggestions for responding to the historic images as a way of using them as evidence about the past. If you evaluate or use this resource, please respond to the short (4 question) survey here bit.ly/3luUea2

Secondary educators across Lebanon County, Pennsylvania developed lesson plans to integrate the Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards with the content they teach.

This lesson plan was developed by one of the talented educators who participated in this project during the 2018-2019 school year.

This course is an an exploration of British culture and politics, focusing on the changing role of the monarchy from the accession of the House of Hanover (later Windsor) in 1714 to the present. The dynasty has encountered a series of crises, in which the personal and the political have been inextricably combined: for example, George III's mental illness; the scandalous behavior of his son, George IV; Victoria's withdrawal from public life after the death of Prince Albert; the abdication of Edward VIII; and the public antagonism sparked by sympathy for Diana, Princess of Wales.

Overview: Royal History is an educational hub. We'll study British history, starting with the monarchy and moving forward to the twenty-first century.
From the monarch, we shall expand to include every century's hero and villain. in addition to each and every decade's worth of imperial and political scandals.
We intend to build our centre gradually over a number of years, beginning with the fourth cemetery.
We will also study each nation in turn as we investigate world history.

Additional: We will also examine international history by taking a turn researching each nation.
