Here at Sweeney's Guide I want to improve access to educational resources for high school social studies teachers. It is intended to be a home for all of us trying to figure out this whole teaching thing. As a student teacher I'm discovering lots of cool resources from throughout the web, and your contributions by commenting on ways you have found interesting classroom uses for these and other resources will make Sweeney's Guide better for all of our users!

Facing History and Ourselves | Helping classrooms and communities worldwide link the past to moral choices today
A great resource for teaching civil rights, activism, decision making, and a variety of other difficult topics.
The "Educator Resources" will be most helpful for you, including prepared lesson/unit plans, Moral Dilemmas today, and teaching strategies.
It takes some time to learn how to navigate around the site, but it is worth it especially if you are teaching hot button issues such as the Holocaust, Civil Rights, immigration, or even trying to have in depth discussions of bullying.
