Teacher's Lounge

These lesson plans, accompanying worksheets, games and weblinks were designed and selected to provide a historical context to teach the distinction between primary and secondary sources.  You can use the 19th Century History section to provide context for your students' exploration of related source material.  The Postal Museum has provided our collection online on Arago and, used in conjunction with the lesson plans, are designed to help your students become historians, and not just simply study history as if it were static.
