Awesome Stories

I've just found out about a great resource for teachers through the State Library run website, Bright Ideas called Awesome Stories. Awesome stories gives teachers access to primary source material and is free to join. It even includes lesson plans! It's mainly history related however there's also topics relating to sports, disasters (natural and man made), religion and more. Topics are explained with images, videos, audio, documents and other primary sources linked to that story. It's a great place to find interesting information or sources to show your students, or for your students to use for primary sources to research/support their assignments. The resources have been sourced from the USA national archives (so topics can be more Americanised), universities, museums, historical societies and government websites.
