Smithsonian Jazz
Visit Smithsonian Jazz for interactive lessons on Jazz as well as specific composers such as Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. Once there be sure to check out the lesson called “Groovin to Jazz”!
America on the Move
This Smithsonian Website chronicles the history of transportation in the US. Basically, it covers everything we’ve been studying this year and more. I really recommend that you take your time on it because it is full of so many primary source pictures and documents. http://americanhistory.si.edu/onthemove/.
There are also 3 games available, each has a lot of offer students of US History. So far I have really enjoyed them but my favorite is the game titled “Be a Movie Director”. If you select the scenario called “Gangsters on the Run” you get to make a silent black and white film (like we’ve been studying) and film a gangsters getaway. Remember, gangs and crime increased during Prohibition, so all of your pictures should be from the early twentieth century. Have fun!

Please take a moment to experience the Great Migration.
