Invite students to explore these sites in a computer lab, or look at certain portions of the website together as a whole class. For any of these resources, analyze either as a class or individually the selected documents and lead a discussion on how they fit into the social scheme of things in their respective times. (CCRS Reading in Social Studies Standard 1 for 9th-10th grade) These also include primary sources from the day. The Helping to Move on site can be used in a similar fashion.//
