Dream - www.legacyproject.org
You're whisked away on a colorful journey of a lifetime. Whoosh through the teddy bears and castles of childhood. Whoosh again into the labyrinths and mountains of adolescence and adulthood. There are stops along the way to meet famous people in the Club of Dreamers, and explore inventions and discoveries through history. The story culminates with a life-giving Dream Tree, because "the world at its best is green... the color of Go and the color of Grow." The old star then encourages you to find a dream and reach for the stars: "Be a dreamer... dream a dream, your very own dream." Richly detailed contemporary art from top illustrators (including winners of the Caldecott Medal, Bologna Ragazzi Award, Hans Christian Andersen Medal, and Academy Award), thought-provoking quotations from historical sages, and a multilayered story combine to convey a simple yet powerful message: you're never too young or too old to dream, and our dreams become our legacy.
Teaching with Historic Places (U.S. National Park Service)
Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) offers resources, lesson plans, and teaching tools to engage with powerful stories representing America’s diverse history. We invite educators, interpreters, and curious learners to virtually explore our shared past through real historic places. Historic places in National Parks and in the National Register of Historic Places enliven history, social studies, geography, civics, and other subjects. Historic places offer connections across time, encouraging empathy for the people who shaped our past.
