Students are quite interested in stories about young people throughout history. Students want to know what it was like to be a kid during the U.S. Civil War, during the Great Depression, or during the tumultuous Vietnam War period. They want to know what going to school was like, what young people did for entertainment and recreation, and what kind of clothing they wore. There are two ways to respond to this interest. The first is to bring stories about real kids--young people who actually lived in their times--into the teaching. The second way is to bring information about the lives of children, in general, in specific historical eras. There are numerous websites about children in history. Some focus on individual young people, such as Joan of Arc or Cleopatra, who both became historically important and are frequently mentioned in history textbooks. Other sites describe the lives of children in a time period, such as Colonial America. The author presents some sites that will help teachers bring interesting and illuminating information to their instruction and that could also be used by students in both individual and group projects.
