pbs.org is one of the best websites out there for teachers. PBS produces many top-notch shows, including Frontline, American Experience, and NOVA. Nearly all of their shows these days include web content and resources for teachers.

For instance, for the American Experience episode Reconstruction: The Second Civil War is very well done. The website includes additional materials and more research that didn’t make it into the show. There is also a section for teachers with lesson plans and other ideas about incorporating the show into the classroom.

The best way to find materials on a site as massive as pbs.org is to use my Search Engine for Educators.
