[1]A great site for history class and more.
Over the weekend I read about this site and thought it made for a great mid-week post. EyeWitnessToHistory.com [1] has content that could certainly be useful in some history courses, but could lend itself to other courses as well (Social Studies, English, etc.).
This site is a collection of over 200 “eye witness” accounts to historical events (some of them are somewhat second-hand, but most are direct accounts). What I find the most interesting are the real old ones - things like “The Suicide of Socrates [2]” from 399 BC, and “Kublai Khan In Battle, 1287 [3]” as observed by Marco Polo.
Many of the articles on the site are textual, but there are also a growing number of videos as well. Stop by and have a look if this sound of interest!
