Document Based Questions and Primary Sources « Teaching with the Library of Congress

Have you been looking for easy access to primary sources to help students think critically and write analytically? On the Library of Congress’ Teachers page, you’ll find sets of primary sources preselected specifically for classroom use. Learning activities can be designed from these sets of freely accessible primary sources to help your students analyze and synthesize primary sources. These resources can be a valuable time saver in planning lessons to prepare students from elementary through high school to effectively respond to Document Based Questions, otherwise known as DBQ’s. The DBQ requires students to analyze common themes, assess varied perspectives on major historical events, and provide historically based evidence and reasoning to support their ideas. Teachers can use: The American Memory Timeline to find primary sources arranged chronologically from a specific time period. American Journal of Archaeology.

How to transfer your domain name between hosts

The Web domain registry firm received withering criticism for supporting the Stop Online Piracy Act, then backtracked and pulled its support. The company’s sexually suggestive commercials haven’t helped, nor has the widely reported recreational elephant hunting of its CEO. The company has also been accused before of delaying Whois updates in violation of ICANN policies. Users who are uncomfortable with patronizing GoDaddy, or simply have been sitting on a domain elsewhere that they want to move, have a lot of legwork ahead of them—it can be an involved process. We sat down and documented all the stops you have to take on the path to transfer. Defining domain terms Before we start, let’s define what you own and where it lives.

Domains are both registered and hosted. : PBS LearningMedia. Google Earth with Overlays.
