Lesson Plans

Lesson plans that link HRJ stories to the high school American History curriculum are being added to the site.  They will be available free to HRJ teacher subscribers.  The lesson plans are designed to make HRJ easy to use in the classroom as one- or two-day plans and are written by high school history teachers.  Two complete lesson plans are available as samples:

Ivoryton's Industrial History

Mary Townsend Seymour:  Progressive Era Reformer, African American History
