Inauguration Day is quickly approaching. If you plan on allowing your students to experience this historic event, you’ll want some resources to make the event richer.
How about a little music? DJ Z-Trip has created an amazing remix that weaves celebratory music with historical sound-bites of President-Elect Obama’s journey to the Whitehouse. The song is over 30 minutes long. However, it is definitely worth a listen. http://downloads.djztrip.com/Z-Trip_ObamaMix(RadioEdit).zip
Also, here’s a site that has found links to: 25 Inaugural Addressess, Inauguration Timeline, Inauguration Day Events, Inaugural Quiz, TeacherVision-Presidency Lessons, Library of Congress, and much more. http://www.ncs-tech.org/?p=2467
What plans do you have for your classroom on Inauguration Day?
