The Best Sites For Learning About Pearl Harbor
With Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day coming up tomorrow, December 7th, I thought I’d put together a quick “The Best…” list of useful resources. I know it’s a bit late, but at least you can use it for planning next year.
Here are my picks, not in order of preference, of The Best Sites For Learning About Pearl Harbor (and that are accessible to English Language Learners):
EL Civics has A Pearl Harbor Day Lesson, including online resources and reproducible hand-outs.
Holt, Rinehart & Winston have a Pearl Harbor Interactive.
Scholastic has another interactive on the Pearl Harbor attack.
National Geographic has its well-known Remembering Pearl Harbor site.
This is a very accessible Thinkquest site developed by students about Pearl Harbor.
Learn About Pearl Harbor comes from Pearson.
Beyond The Textbook from McGraw-Hill has some online clozes (fill-in-the-gap) activities related to Pearl Harbor.
The National Park Service has many good photos of the Arizona Memorial and ones that were taken on the day of the attack.
TIME Magazine has a photographic timeline of the event.
How Stuff Works has a series of online videos about Pearl Harbor and its aftermath.
You can find the transcript and audio, along with images, of President Roosevelt’s “Infamy” speech at the History Place.
Attack on Pearl Harbor is an interactive graphic from the Orange County Register.
Remembering Pearl Harbor is a short slideshow from the Sacramento Bee.
As always, feedback is welcome.
