Today in History
At
each of the following sites, you will find listings of evnets that occured
on a specific date in history. At most, you can enter any date, and
it will generate a list of events over several years. This is very
handy for many uses. One good use of today in history is to put a
new fact on the board each day, make the kids write it down, and, at the
end of the week, give extra credit for anyone who can remember them.
Or, put them on the board, have the kids write them down and save them,
and then, use them periodically as trivia questions for extra points.
