Hi Jane, Disregard my e-mail. Devra showed me how to post on your blog. The Library of Congress tutorial is an amazing tool especially for History teachers. But actually when you are starting a new novel there are activities and links you can go to to give the students background infomation.The American Memory Collections or Global Gateways would help. Maybe we can do something together. Diane
The Fifties: I was a little kid. Think "Leave it to Beaver."
The Sixties: preteen and teen. Think the daughter in "Mad Men."
The Seventies: College, master's degree, work as a journalist and TV writer, marriage, and a baby. Think "Annie Hall."
The eighties: Mommyhood, some part-time work. Think "Thirtysomething."
The nineties: Drama mom, sports mom, soccer mom, part-time college instructor teaching memoir writing. Got teaching credential at the end of the decade. Think "For Better or For Worse."
This decade: teacher at San Mateo High School. Lots of graduations in my family and at the school. Think "Saved by the Bell!"
Note: I cannot figure out to underline or italicize, so I resorted to "quotes."
