  3. Museum of the History of Science, University of Oxford
    At first, I assigned this page to the "General History" category, based on its title. However, after browsing the page, I discovered that the content is all about European/Western science. It's a great page....as far as it goes...but you must tell students that there is a bias here that is all too typical. These folks should rename their site to "European-Western Science" and inlcude a disclaimer that they don't pretend to present a "global" survey of the history of science. Current exhibits include: The Garden, the Ark, the Tower, the Temple Biblical metaphors of knowledge in early modern Europe. You may also see Cameras: the Technology of Photographic Imaging by the time you visit the site. Older exhibits also on-line: The Noble Dane: Images of Tycho Brahe: An exhibition centred on a scene in the life of the Danish astronomer, The Geometry of War: 1500-1750 and the application of mathematical science in the context of the battlefield and The Measurers: a Flemish Image of Mathematics in the Sixteenth Century. The The Geometry of War site offers a great opportunity for collaboration with Math teachers. Want funding for this? Go to your local PTA or any of the other support groups and ask for a $500.00 mini-grant for two interested teachers to build a unit of instruction during the Summer.

In true post-empire fashion, the British have created a historical society devoted to the study of this short, brutal war."

    Definition and examples of nations and states. Teachers looking for themes in the study and teaching of history might look to the historical evolution of tribal societies into states or nations. Greece and later Rome evolved from preliterate tribal societies and retained many of the vestiges of those societies in their historic eras. The theme can also be applied to the development of European nations and empires following the Germanic invasions and the decline of Roman government or to the more modern spread of the nation-state format to non-western societies.

  68. Halloween Costume Construction
    costume.jpg Greek Costume Armor. This page provides detailed instructions on how to make costumes out of everyday materials -- construction paper, newspapers and scrap cloth. Illustrations, graphic and stept-by-step instructions. The general methods described could easily be adapted to creating inexpensive costumes for any culture or time period and would thus be useful for class displays and projects, student plays and skits and those extra credit reports. A short selection of links are available to other costume sites. You might think play/skit/costume productions are more useful for k1-8 classrooms. However, I found that Senior High students love a chance to play, act and create. Even simple tasks such as rote memorization, vocabulary drill and review sessions can be "playful." If your are wondering where the inspiration came for this page, visit Xena pictures and viewing Xena - The Warrior Princess section.

    PBS will air four one-hour programs on Wednesdays, August 26-September 16, 1998, 10:00 p.m. ET (check local listings), to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's voyage. The documentary revisits the Age of Exploration, traveling along the West-East route and exploring how events five centuries ago shaped the modern world. "INTO THE RISING SUN retraces Portuguese voyages from Europe around the southern tip of Africa, and on to India and Asia. Along the way, rich narratives and exotic footage reveal the lasting effects of the mixing of cultures and races; the beginnings of mass trade, both of goods and people; and the clash of Christianity and Islam. The series weaves diary entries of the original explorers with the insights of contemporary journalists, historians and villagers. The stories bridge past and present, shedding light on modern realities, from civil war in Angola and political strife in South Africa to Christian practices in Japan and India."
    Other programs in the series inlcude: "The Barrier of Fear" (8/26) (Crossing Cape Bojador), "Beyond the Cape of Storms" (9/2) (Rounding the southern tip of Africa the "Cape of Storms"), "The Passage to India" (9/9) (The arduous voyage to India as told in the one surviving eyewitness account), and "A Liar's Tale" (9/16), which tracks Mendes Pinto's incredible adventures throughout the East.

    Pages such as this might be listed under either the European section or the NonWestern section.. It is listed here because the "point of view" is "Western" Unfortunately, it is on the Geocities server, which increasingly features a very intrusive banner ad at the top each and every time the page is visited (that must be closed by the viewer). This page also bears a kind of electronic watermark "GeoCities" that travels with the visitor in all the navigation and browsing. I suggested at one point in the past that the Ad people at GeoCities have plans to place ads that not only can not be removed from the member pages but also become part of the visitor's home/office computer. Like a "cookie germ" each time the computer is turned on, the watermarked machine will display the GeoCities imprint on each and every screen. Taking the machine for a surgical removal of the intrusive viris will be for naught, as the creative ad folks with think of ways to reinfect the machine, perhaps discovering how to turn it on at inappropriate times in the wee hours, with loud rap music to alert the potential buyer. Give us a break!
    Indian Mutiny is part of a rather large page called "Alex's Military History Page" which also covers [Pacific War] [Western Front] [Gallipolli] [Bannockburn] [American Civil War] [Poetry and Anguish] [Battle of Britain] [Stirling Bridge] [ICC Home] [ESL Quizzes.

    An Interesting graphic
    from Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
    ww2gar2.jpg

    The photo shot of a wall painting to the right (click for larger view) was taken on a recent visit to one of the military bases in Garmisch, on a landing leading the a second floor of the Army PX. The camera shot had to be at a slight angle because the stairs were off-limits. The excess light in the left side of the painting hints at a window in the stairwell. There was no description or caption that I could see. Who are the men in the painting? What nation do they represent? If this a World War II painting, why are the men riding horses and leading pack animals? Is it an effort at local history, or perhaps an example of how international events shaped the history of the area?
    It might be fun to assign a group of interested students to research the Garmisch area during and after World War II. Perhaps they can locate information that will solve the mystery of the painting by contacting people in the area now, or perhaps some veterans who fought in the area. Can military historians help? How would a student contact these sources? What about publishing their findings? When the time comes to give the interior a fresh coat of paint, should the painting be covered as well?
    The painting also reminds me of a comemerative painting done by students in the late 60's on a large wall on the 3rd floor of our school. By the early 90s, most of the teachers and (naturally) all of the students who could identify with the events and people depicted were long gone.
    Over Summer Vacation, the area was covered with a coat of latex paint. With that painting obscured, how can students who attend the school today be led into an understanding of that era in the school's history? Student interest in the era is well represented by the site "The Whole World Was Watching". Are athletic trophy cases more important than the works of art created by students? Is it more important to know that a student from the track team set a record in the mile than to see an artist's effort to show how the revolutionary events of the 60s influenced the students? You don't need either painting to raise the preservation issue. Students should be able to find it all around them in the home, school and the community.

It begins by placing anti-Semitism in historical perspective, starting with the period before the Crusades and extending to the rise of the Nazi and the Holocaust. Highly recommended!

    A teaching unit... You might turn images off on the first visit to get a feel for content, as the page load is slowed by high graphic content.

    Son of man, keep not silent, forget not deeds of tyranny.
    Cry out at the disaster of a people, recount it unto your children and they unto theirs.
    From generation to generation the hordes swept in, ran wild and savage and there was no deliverance, valiance, and revolt.
    How the mighty are fallen, the great in spirit and stout of heart, walking to their death with a halo of eternity.

    - - - Yehuda L. Bialer (reference to the Holocaust)

  38. The Holocaust: A Tragic Legacy
    A "Think Quest" made by students, and an excellent production. Notice the Multimedia Glossary which links to a page with a statement about how the Holocaust has changed our vocabulary followed by the terms/definitions. Icons that link to sound files for pronunciation and graphics provide additional information. Students also describe "How we did what we did and how you can learn more" and supply some interactive quizzes on Holocaust knowledge. Notice that moving your your cursor over the menu items generates a grapic thumbnail that disappears when you move to the next item (I think you will need a browser equiped with Javascript to see it....).

    These kids are riding the crest of the new Web technology and are very serious about the interface and content. Here is a quote from their "about this site" link:
    "There is a strong interactive element, asking visitors to consider the moral dilemmas of Nuremberg, consider the culpability of the Swiss, or examine the future implications of the Holocaust. An interactive timeline and a brief summary go over the events themselves, linking to a multimedia glossary with pronunciations and other related audio, images, and link to sites that expand on the basic definitions. Specific aspects of the Holocaust, such as why it happened and what came in its aftermath are also covered. To bring the Holocaust to life, there are accounts of survivors and a virtual reality camp. A guide to books and other resources allow visitors to learn more and a quiz allow users to spot-check their knowledge of the Holocaust. Users can also share thoughts and scanned artwork/photos. The more that is known, the more that is understood, the better we can work to promote tolerance and learn the lessons of the past."

    The References and Credits link provides some more information (students = Site produced by Jordan Feil, Mike Dale, Kushal Dave) and one of the best overall bibliography I have seen online. Simply a must visit for all with interactive surprise behind each link!

    Also on the topic from the ThinkQuest contest -- The Holocaust: Humanity's Darkest Hour and A Human Tragedy: Genocide in World War II.

  39. Home is Somewhere Else by Lilian R. Furst
    Following the Nazi invasion of Austria in 1938, a Viennese dentist named Desider Furst, his wife, and daughter found themselves fugitives, holders of German passports branded with a red "J" for Jew. Now, nearly sixty years later, the daughter tells their story in counterpoint, alternating chapters of her father's memoir with her own recollections. In this edited interview aired on Soundings, the National Humanities Center's weekly radio show, Wayne Pond talks with Lilian Furst about her book, Home Is Somewhere Else: An Autobiography in Two Voices (State University of New York Press, 1994).

It documents and describes in great detail "...one of the greatest thefts by a government in history: the confiscation by Nazi Germany of an estimated $580 million of central bank gold -- around $5.6 billion in today's values -- along with indeterminate amounts in other assets during World War II. These goods were stolen from governments and civilians in the countries Germany overran and from Jewish and non-Jewish victims of the Nazis alike, including Jews murdered in extermination camps from whom everything was taken down to the gold fillings of their teeth..." (from the 2nd paragraph of the Forward in the document). Assign students to research the recent controversies associated with the gold and other assets, including those in various Swiss banks.

  11. Meeting of Frontiers
    In 1962, when I began teaching, we used a global history text that included a unit on Russia that made comparisons between the historic frontier experience of Americans and Russian. Here is a site that provides a focus on that comparison "... and the meeting of those frontiers in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. "Meeting of Frontiers" includes more than 2,500 items, comprising some 70,000 images, from the Library's [Library of Congress] rare book, manuscript, map, prints and photograph, film and sound recording collections that tell the stories of the explorers, fur traders, missionaries, exiles, gold miners and adventurers that peopled both frontiers and their interactions with the native peoples of Siberia and the American West." It was created by a team of Library staff and American and Russian consultants. Plans for the future will include materials from a host of partner institutions in Russia, and this project pilots a future effort of the Library to collect digital materials through international cooperation with foreign institutions. The fact that the documents are often placed on Web pages in both Russian and English helps to drive home the international cooperation at the heart of the project. Teachers of World History should have no difficulty in designing some Web lessons that feature visits to the site. (See the TOC below in the section on American History.)

Some of the images (George Morland's Blind ManÕs Buff) have an exploration tool attached called the "Self-Guided Tour for Young People." Clicking on the link takes the student to a focus page (with an expanded view of the art) and a series of discussion question about the art and about childhood.

The Berkeley Art Museum / Pacific Film Archive, which produced the exhibit, have taken their educational responsibilities seriously.
