Book Description

"Minnesota Communities explores the fascinating histories of three towns in Minnesota. Primary sources expose you to the hidden treasures of the past"--Home p. The site is intended to present teachers and students with materials that can be used to supplement classroom history units and that provide teacher materials to support the proposed Minnesota Graduation Standards. Interactive themes that focus on people, occupations, landscapes, and milestones allow both individual community or cross-community exploration. Timelines provide a chronological perspective between local community, state, and national events. Photographic tours provide now-and-then visual comparisons. Lesson plans, enrichment activities, and downloadable copies of primary source materials for teachers are also included.
