If you're teaching American literature or humanities, you'll want to explore Our Documents, a site from the National Archives that allows you to read and learn more about one hundred of the most influential documents in American history. From George Washington's First Inaugural Speech to the Emancipation Proclamation to Thomas Edison's patent application for the light bulb to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it's all there. Also available at the same site are a teacher source book and collection of lesson ideas.
