"If you want to use them, there are a variety of photos about industrialization in the national archives that would be a GREAT resources for students. These are on line. I'm sure that there are other sources as well- -It might be fun to look at…"

I'm not sure why your lesson posting does not allow comments. It's awkward to get from the lessons to this page, but I will try. -- FInally got it sorted out -- difference between your page and the main thematic history page

"The same wording issue exists with the technology lessons--what does "KNOW" mean and how do you measure it?
