====**Title: ** Ben's Guide to the US Government ====

** Comments: **
==== This site is amazing for teachers and students to use together to navigate and discover new information and our country's three different branches of government. This site is available for all students in all grades, for one's in the lower levels the site offers more pictures and simple large wording, the site gets more "in depth" with more words and elaborate pictures for the older grades. This site has quizzes and activities, such as games, perfect for the classroom. There isn't many limitations when it comes to using this site because it gets its point across in teaching the three branches of government, while also diving more into detail about our very own U.S. Government. Ben's Guide to the US Government is a great alternative to teaching a lesson, and could also be a great resource for students to use while reviewing for their tests and quizzes. ====

 * This website I noticed is very simple and easy to navigate, which is good for the classroom. I also think that it does a good job on focusing on the grade levels and how the information is represented. For the younger grades I think its great that more images, colorful words and diagrams are used to explain the more difficult concepts. This website also has practice quizzes and test to help student prepare themselves and understand the material better. -Shelby Vasta**=====


 * Title: ** The Underground Railroad Journey

** URL: ** []
====** Comments: ** This site is a good one for teachers to use with students from the third grade and up. The reading level is more difficult, but the lesson is a great one. This site is a journey through the Underground Railroad, but the students get to participate as if they were experiencing it themselves. This site makes students make decisions the slaves would have had to make on their way to freedom. The Underground Railroad Journey is perfect for a lesson in class, but not as much for studying for a test. This web exercise gives students a better understanding over the topic, and because it reaches its goal of describing the Underground Railroad, it really doesn't have any limitations. ====

This is a very good website for teachers to use with older elementary students. The text is smaller than what would be appropriate for younger students. This activity is a hands on experience for students. This activity is useful to keep students interested in the subject of the history of the Underground Railroad. Teachers could use this activity to reinforce what the student has already learned by reading their textbooks or listening to lectures. - Christine Rozwadowski
