folklore, short stories/novels, etc.) for each continent/country unit.

Does anyone know of a commercial product (textbook and/or ancillary
materials) that has *already* assembled/packaged these kinds of
curriculum extension materials into units?

And/or, if your 5th, 6th, or 7th grade Social Studies classes are
already doing something similar, what are they using as materials. . .

ubject: Accessing e-mail

I am inclined to go along with Ken - though being English I do not spring
as instinctively to the freedom of speech line. What is the problem with
having uncontrolled teacher web pages, even on the school server.
Presumably there is an appropriate use policy which also covers
publication? The teacherwouldn't be publishing pornography, racism or other
dubious elements, or barbara would have mentioned it. Seems like a desire
to control rather than educate.

I shall be interested in seing further reactions.
