Understanding the American National Anthem for English Language Learners. On the morning of September 14, 1814, the sun rose to reveal a surprising sight to Francis Scott Key. Just a month after the British had burned the White House during the height of the War of 1812, Key was aboard a British vessel negotiating the release of a friend who was being held prisoner.
During Key’s time aboard the vessel, the British commenced an attack on Fort McHenry and the pair was not allowed to leave. So Key and his friend watched from the ship as the British bombarded Fort McHenry. After a day and a long night in which Key thought for certain that the American fort was doomed, he was shocked when the early morning light revealed that the American flag was still there.

Teaching American History Through Art. 5 Fun Geography Games for Geography Awareness Week. The Best Websites For Teaching & Learning About U.S. History. I just agreed to teach two classes of United States History next year to English Language Learners.
It will be an interesting experiment, since one class will be done almost entirely in the computer lab and the other will be mostly in my classroom. I’ll be doing a number of different assessments with both groups over the year (including self-assessments) to compare results between the two. Given these upcoming classes, I thought it would be helpful for me to develop another “The Best…” list, this time focusing on U.S. History sites. I have an extensive collection of U.S. In order for a site to make it onto this list, they needed to be…. * …broad in the time periods they covered. * …offer something “value-added” by being on the Internet over a hard-copy textbook. * … accessible to English Language Learners. * …. available free-of-charge (except for one).
