The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) website is valuable for teachers seeking primary sources, historical documents, and government records to enhance their lessons. It provides access to a vast collection of materials, including the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, as well as photographs, letters, and military records. Teachers can use NARA's educational resources, lesson plans, and digital exhibits to bring history to life in the classroom. The site also includes interactive tools, such as DocsTeach, which allows students to analyze and engage with historical documents meaningfully. If your district blocks YouTube, then the videos may not be viewable.

tag(s): bill of rights (33), constitution (96), declaration of independence (16), photography (130)

In the Classroom

Use DocsTeach to select a primary source related to your lesson (Declaration of Independence, Emancipation Proclamation, letters from historical figures) and have students answer questions about who wrote the document, why it was created, and how it relates to today's world. Show students a virtual tour or video from the National Archives YouTube Channel and take notes using Webnotes, reviewed here or TurboNote, reviewed here for a class discussion afterwards. Select a historical photograph, letter, or document from DocsTeach or archives.gov and provide students with limited context. In groups, students can play detective by analyzing clues (dates, signatures, language, historical events) to figure out the document's purpose and significance.

Teachers can use it to expand their classroom library, recommend reading materials to students, or enhance lesson plans with diverse sources.

tag(s): authors (107), book lists (167), digital reading (17), Research (87), resources (84), Teacher Utilities (198)

In the Classroom

Have students search for a specific book, author, or topic related to your curriculum using WorldCat. Ask them to find the closest library with the book and compare availability across locations. Choose a novel or historical text related to your class and find different editions or translations on WorldCat. Have the class compare publication dates, cover designs, and publishers, then discuss how these factors might affect interpretation. Provide students with a historical event or literary movement and have them use WorldCat to locate a primary source (ex., original speeches, diaries, first editions) and present their source, explaining its historical significance and how it connects to modern perspectives.

The MLA Digital Escape Room, developed by the John S. Bailey Library at The American College of Greece, is an interactive online tool designed to help students master MLA citation style in an engaging and fun manner. Through a series of challenges, participants learn to navigate the MLA Citation Guide, distinguish between various in-text and works cited citations, and identify the components of an MLA-formatted paper. Upon completing the escape room, students receive a score and a downloadable certificate, making it an effective resource for reinforcing citation skills in the classroom.

tag(s): citations (33), digital escapes (15)

In the Classroom

Before students complete the MLA Digital Escape Room, give them a scavenger hunt worksheet with different citation challenges (such as find the correct MLA format for a book, article, or website). Prepare incorrect MLA citations and display them on the board. Students must identify errors and correct them before the teacher does. After completing the digital escape room, students could work in small groups to design their own MLA-themed escape room using Genially reviewed here or Google Forms reviewed here.

Before playing the Plagiarism Game, have students work in small groups to find examples of plagiarism in real-world contexts (e.g., news stories, social media posts, or famous cases of academic dishonesty). Then, have each group present their findings and discuss how the plagiarism could have been avoided. Create a classroom escape room using Google Forms reviewed here or Genially reviewed here where students must solve citation-related puzzles to unlock the final "safe passage" to submit a research paper. Include challenges like identifying plagiarism, correcting citations, and differentiating between paraphrasing and direct quoting. After playing the game, challenge students to take a plagiarized passage and properly rewrite it using correct paraphrasing and citations.
