History Resources
Incredible visualizations of world issues in map form
This is from the National Archives. It has a collection of primary sources to use as well as ways to use them.
Good Revolution stuff for Grade 7, including a timeline activity that has kids put primary sources in order during the Pre-Revolutionary period. There is also an interesting pre-made activity on the difference in Civil War Recruiting posters.
some general sites here, but lots that are particular to government and other US history topics. Good for all three grades, but especially grade 7 and 8.
