Looking for an Engaging Kennedy Resource?

Looking for an engaging Kennedy Resource?

Over the summer I was flipping through my Amazon Prime video account and I discovered an AWESOME video resource for US History Teacher.

It's a four part series covering the life of President Kennedy.  The series is simply entitled JFK, created by PBS for their American Experience series. Each part does an outstanding job going in depth AND being engaging for your students.  There are black and white and color home movies of the Kennedys, interviews of people who worked directly with the Kennedys, and relatives who saw historical events first hand.  At the same time, it's not glory-be- all John Kennedy.  The series is pretty much a fair assessment of his life and the presidency.

Again, this series is on Amazon Prime right now.

Also, if you interested in showing these videos to your class, then feel free to use my movie guides I created for this series.  The guides can be found here.   Each guide includes fill-in the blank and short answer questions, post viewing questions, and make-up question for absent students who missed the classroom discussions.

Finally, feel free to visit my TpT store for all your other social studies needs.  I have it all here!

Take care and have a SUPER year!

Today I reflect upon the man JFK, please join me...

Today, was was sad day in American history as a young American president died in Dallas.  But, I will not focus on the saddnes, but the man and his ideals.

Yes, many years after his death, we discovered Camelot was tarnish and the man had fawls.  But don't we all.

No matter how you felt or feel about President Kennedy, one can not argue his impact he made upon the United States.

Today, please take a minute to honor the ideals of JFK and visit this very engaging website:http://www.jfk50.org/.

Also, check out the create your own exhibit tab.   This looks SO much fun.... For my teacher friends, this would be GREAT for the classroom!
