Database Features for Teachers: ABC-CLIO History Databases
Our ABC-CLIO history databases allow you to browse by time period and sub-topic. These sub-topics have a section for exploring background information, another for analyzing an issue or topic with a key question, background essay, a few short point of view essays, and suggested additional sources. These databases also have a ton of reference articles and primary sources. The Save button on each article allows you to share the article directly on Google Classroom. Example: Woodstock.
We Take RequestsWondering if we have a book for you or do you think we should have a item in the collection students would / should read? We take requests. Just let us know, and if it fits our LMC policy for what we collect (e.g. supports curriculum and/or interest / appropriateness for students, or professional materials for you, we can afford it...), we will be glad to get it for you as soon as we can. Same with your students. We are able to accommodate most requests. Of course, that excludes novels like 50 Shades of Grey....for example...
Cool Website: The ConversationThe Conversation is a news analysis site with articles written by academics from various disciplines. The articles are written in easy to understand language about interesting and relevant topics and they are a manageable length. Example article that has personal (but probably not curricular relevance): This trait could be key to a lasting romance. Nope, it’s not a Buzzfeed article. It reports on a recent academic study. Interesting stuff.
