Learning Activity 3-D-2: Local Documents, Data, and Cartoons
[] and []

The first website contains Adolf Hitler's address to Germany and his justification for invading Poland, which started WWII. The other link contains Neville Chamberlain addressing Great Britain in his response to Germany's action. I would use these documents along with the NARA analysis sheets so students would have a better understanding of how WWII began

[] This site contains several speeches of Winston Churchill. These are always good to analyze! . [] [] from [] [] The first site contains some political cartoons created during WWII by Dr. Seuss, as well as a lesson plan to go with them. I may use the lesson as is or make some modifications. The second site contains my all time favorite Seuss cartoon and the third and fourth have a collection of more Seuss cartoons. I may mix and match some of these to go with the lesson plan.

This WWI cartoon was found at []

[] contains some additional WWI political cartoons

Learning Activity 4-D-1: Local Photos and Posters
[] and []

These links contain German and USA propaganda during WWII. I would have students use the NARA analysis sheet for a poster or perhaps create a VENN diagram to compare and contrast some of the posters and themes that they see.

[] [] These two sites contain WWI propaganda posters

[] This site contains a large number of WWII photos organized by categories. It even includes descriptions of the photos, which will help in sorting through them.

[] While most of these photos aren't actually in color, there is a very extensive collection of photos here!

[]

This online exhibit contains photographs and descriptions of new technology during WWII. This would help students to better understand the way the war was fought.

[] This site contains color photos of WWI. I need to investigate this site futher to make sure it is authentic before I would use the images with students. [] This site contains photos from WWI.

My thoughts on using any of these photos or photo websites would be to show students how each war was fought.

[] This site contains photos of WWII veterans from The First Divison (which is the local museum I would be using in my project.) These men weren't all necessarily locals, but they connect with the local museum, which is all about their division.

Learning Activity 5-D-1: Local Audio and Music
Add the sources you found in Learning Activity 5-D-1 here.

[] This site contains a huge archive of WWI sheet music. Documents seem to be high quality scans that students could analyze.

[] This site contains more WWI sheet music. The site contains scans of the front and back covers of the music. Lyrics are included but not necessarily the actual music with the words.

[] This source was from our activities this week, but it could still prove useful for my project!

[] This site contains a list of WWII songs. This could help students in searches on other sites so they could look for particular titles. I did not see scans on this site.

[] this Library of Congress site has many speeches during the time period of WWI and th 1920 election.

[|http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/audio#gompers-pledges-labors-support-for-wwi] This history channel site has some additional audio from WWI. [|http://www.history.com/audio/germanys-surrender-in-wwii#germanys-surrender-in-wwii] History channel site with some audio (news reports) from WWII, including Germany's surrender and the death of hitler.

[] This site has some audio from WWII.

[|http://library.umkc.edu/spec-col/ww2/search.htm#topicindex] Great site with a good amount of audio from WWII

Learning Activity 6-D-1: Local Video and Maps
Add the sources you found in Learning Activity 6-D-1 here. This resource from our work this week would be useful with my project: []

I don't think these are primary sources (like the ones from the LOC) but they could still be useful: []

The history channel has a few clips from their WWII in HD special: [|http://www.history.com/shows/wwii-in-hd/videos#motorcycle-mp]

There are 5 video clips here: [] Though they are clearly edited to tell a story, the footage is still good.

These are some rare color videos from WWII: [] Although I found the music to be distracting, the footage was excellent.

D-Day videos: [] Some may be too graphic to show, I haven't had a chance to look too closely yet.

This site has a variety of video clips: [] (How to Hide a Tank in Plain Sight was very interesting) They also have a great collection of WWI films too!

Collection of videos: []

Youtube, has TONS of videos available.
