Apartheid Awareness Webquest
This short activity is one used to begin the short story "Once Upon a Time" by Nadine Gordimer or any fiction or non-fiction text that informs students about South Africa's former apartheid government.

Immigration and American Dream Story
As part of the American Dream unit, teachers at my school had students write about family history. I saw a problem after my first year, however, since some students either didn't know family history. It seemed unfair to tell them that their American experiences were not as important as their classmates, so I added four more options to the assignment.
This download gives you all five options. It was used in an English setting, but it might even be a better paper in social studies. Maybe world l

World Literature courses center all literary study in cultural context, asking students to understand cultural norms and realities that authors reflect and critique in their texts. We'd all love to be able to take the students to those cultures, but the next best thing is a virtual "culture walk" through the historical context of a text and its author. Student discovery beats out "sage on the stage" lecturing every time, and this culture walk handout walks the delicate balance between teacher-gu
