Here are just a few of the middle school lesson plans on the site. They are
very thorough lessons which might spark an idea. (I didn't read through the
entire lessons - I know I personally would probably do them differently)
Teaching Local Culture and Heritage (interdisciplinary)

I took a class called "Backyard History" which was very interesting to me
and shared a little bit of it when I did my Heroes unit with 8th grade (but
that is a long story). I shared a little with all of my classes so they
could see how I was continuing to learn - and enjoying it. If we want kids
to learn history - we should give them some history that will mean something
to them.
I look at all sites you send me....Believe me I KNOW you don't have time to
look at the sites I send you....I send them to you just in case the need
arises - then you have the search already done. I have lots of artists links
searches saved on my computer and share them with folks who request.
