[CALIBK12] Colonial Occupations Web Hotlists

[Carol Hagen]

Hi Derek and all:The Henry Ford Museum has a great interactive website on Colonial occupations (be sure you watch the little movies).  http://www.hfmgv.org/education/smartfun/colonial/intro/index.htmlI even created a little worksheet for the kids asking questions like:1.  Name 3 housewifery skills the Daggett girls did2.  Name one thing a "cooper" might make.Etc.   Kids had a ball doing it. Actually The Henry Ford (museum) website   http://www.hfmgv.org/explore/default.asp     has 4 really good interactive sites plus a bunch of other things for educators.  Check it out!

I have a group of fifth grade teachers having their students research trades and occupations during the American colonial period. I've poured over the usual suspects, i.e., Filamentality, our subscription databases, de.li.ous. And it occurred to me that one of you might have a hotlist of your own that has not been shared.

Any help would be great.
Derek
