Introductory Note:
Welcome to one in a series of posts which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular material in our learning modules.
In this post, I limit myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the students' regularly-assigned written reactions.
++++++++++
I ask the students to work through the following links:
1. Introduction: The Civilian Conservation Corps
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/introduction/ccc-introduction/
2. Photo Gallery
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/photo-gallery/ccc/
3. CCC Camps Across America (total persons, arrayed by state)
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/image/ccc-camps-across-america/
4. Interactive map of CCC projects across the United States
