"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hopes, and a world of fears. There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware. It's a small world after all." - written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman & made famous by Walt Disney

Not boring archives

One of the best resources for bringing actual history to students are the National Archives of both the US and UK. They have lessons, activities, simulations, and most importantly the primary sources that brings history to classrooms across time and space. From taking a look at William the Conquerors Doomsday Book in the UK to US WWII letters these two online locations are an amazing cross-Atlantic resource.
