Re: [LM_NET] HIT: SEC: Inauguration day Activities

[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

Here' s some resources, Linda, from posts on AASLForum by Alma Ramos-McDermott and 
Ann Marie Pipkin:

RESOURCES
http://inaugural.senate.gov/history/daysevents/index.cfm
This
is a nice set of slides that covers the 9 major events of the day. The
other links on the page are helpful for a more in-depth study. Lots of
interesting 'firsts.'
 
http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=5768
This is a first hand report from a young student, now a teen, of his first 
inaugural experience. Nice viewpoint.

This site lists many resources, video tours of the White House and some 
reproducible materials.

 don't know if you can use these for elementary school; however, here are some:

Library of Congress

C-Span Resources (includes high/middle school worksheet)
http://www.c-span.org/classroom/govt/inauguration.asp

Teacher Vision (includes lesson plan on inaugural poetry)
http://www.teachervision.fen.com/elections/teacher-resources/6615.html

We Must Not Be Enemies: Lincoln's First Inaugural Address
http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=246

Great Presidential Inauguration Websites
http://www.ourwhitehouse.org/greatinaugsites.html

These should be of help.

I
found this site. I don't know how much bandwidth will be required to
watch. Our district is discouraging live streaming, as it'll slow down
the district servers if too many teachers do so, and may cause them to
crash.
 
Instead, a suggested plan is to get as many classes as
possible into a large room and show it on a tv that's hooked up to a
screen.
