Learning Activity 3-D-2: Local Documents, Data, and Cartoons
http://edsitement.neh.gov/lesson-plan/reading-writing-and-rithmetic-one-room-schoolhouse#sect-preparation [] - Official website for vintage one room school houses. Can compare and contrast Miles Township one room school house to other one room school houses around the country. [] - This exhibit has 4 copies of textbooks that were used during the 1900's. These textbooks would give ideas of topics and subject studied during this time period. [] - Provides background information on the history of American Public Education [] - Gramley Schoolhouse is the original name of the one room schoolhouse I will be completing my project about. This Facebook page is dedicated to the schoolhouse. []

[] - Newspaper artcile on the updated Gramley Schoolhouse

Learning Activity 4-D-1: Local Photos and Posters
[] -- This website contains a photograph of a one room school house in Michigan. As I compare and contrast one room school houses for my project I may use this photograph to show the similarities and differences in how they were constructed??

[] -- Again here is a photograph of a one room school house in Flordia -- I think it will be neat to show that these were a trend all over the United States.

[] - At the Penns Valley Historical Society Museum there is a photograph of C.I. Gramley who was a teacher at the Gramley schoolhouse during the 1900's.

[] - On this site I found a few posters that may be relevant to what students during the 1900's participated in after school. This would be useful when completing my project because I could track the changes in student interests throughout history. One poster on this site was an advertisement for boy scouts. Another was am advertisement for the circus, while yet another advertised fire safety for children.

Learning Activity 5-D-1: Local Audio and Music
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/papr:@filreq(@field(NUMBER+@band(edrs+50962r))+@field(COLLID+edison)) - This is one of the Edison Sound Recordings. The is song depicts what school was like for 2 young boys in the 1900's. They discuss the mischief they encountered and the punishment they received when they attended school. I could use this song to compare misbehavior in the past and present.

Interview with Vonnie Hettinger, former students of the Gramley Schoolhouse and head of the restoration project.

[] -- [] The 2 links above provide the lyrics and sheet music cover for a song titled "Country Girl." Many of the one room schoolhouses during this time period were in the country. This song provides information about what the country was like during the 1900's.

[] - reflects the attitude of Americans towards their country during the 1900's.

Learning Activity 6-D-1: Local Video and Maps
- Current map of Rebersburg, PA where Gramley School house is located. Use to compare and contrast the layout of the town. [] - Map of PA in 1894. I could use this to locate one room school houses throughout the state during this time in history. This would provide an idea of the distance between each school and what types of towns had schoolhouses. []- Map of the United States in 1895. I could use this to locate one room schoolhouses throughout the country during this time period in history. This could be used to compare and contrast where schools are located now, showing how much more area a school district covers today. []- Interview with a retired teacher of a one room schoolhouse - I could use this to connect the information I learned in my interview and compare one room schoolhouse experiences. []- Video of another one room schoolhouse that has been restored in the Leigh Valley(PA). I can use this to compare the restoration of the Gramley Schoolhouse.

Learning Activity 8-B-1: Local History Project
The project I have created will serve as an example for my students. My students will view my presentation and partake in the activites that accompany my presentation. In return my students will work with a partner to create a similar local history project.
