 * Title:** U.S. Presidents: Lists and Records
 * URL:** []


 * Comments:** This site provides facts about the presidents from their political parties to the jobs they held before they became president. Learning the background of the presidents and their political party will help students understand the political philosophies these each man governed by. The website also groups presidents based ion their similarities, which allows for discussion and comparison of the presidential policies. A limitation of the site is its length. At the top of the page, there are links to other parts of the page, but there are no links back to the top of the page. This makes scrolling through the site a tedious task. Another limit is there are few pictures to makes the site less bland and to grasp your attention. I would use the facts provided on this site to generate discussion about the different ways to govern this country and compare and contrast the presidents of America.

This is a very interesting site. It contains a lot of unique information that most sites do not have. It tells you all about the Presidents of the United States of America. I think you could do some creative assignments with this site about the history of the Presidents. The site has a very simple setup and is very easy to use. All of the links work and there is no outside advertising. However as stated above the site is very bland and could lose the attention of students very easily. You could also use this site for some political science assignments. CA

This site is very well organized. It has a lot of good information not only about the history of presidents but also fun facts. I could use this site for fun assignments that are also very informational. I think students need to learn more about the presidents and what they are all about. A downfall to this site is that it is very bland and difficult to navigate. This site could also be very useful in a senior high school class or college freshman class to get student involved with the voting process and up to date with the politicians. JJ


 * Title:** Introduction to the Attack on Pearl Harbor
 * URL:** []


 * Comments:** THe site provides a quick introduction to the battle of Pearl Harbor. This would help me as a teacher gives some background to a very important battle in America's history. It would also introduce a lesson on the Battle of Pearl Harbor and its effects on the nation. A limitation of the site is its lack of photos. The entire page, though short, is all text and doesn't capture the readers' attention very well. Another limitation is its paragraph form. NOthing is bulleted or stands out to indicate any especially important facts. I would use this site to give a brief introduction to this battle and then follow up with a discussion and lesson about the battle itself and its consequences in WWII and later.

The Introduction to the Attack on Pearl Harbor is very good to get bullet points and all the major details of the tragic event. I would agree that this website would be a good tool to just give students a background knowledge on the subject, then move on to explain Pearl Harbor in greater detail. The website is visually lacking, it is very plain and overall pretty boring to look at. While the site contains helpful information, it just looks like on large paragraph with nothing sticking out or catching the eye of the reader. In conclusion the website is good as an introductory tool, but other sites should be used to gain more information on the event. Comment by Rob Yusko
