The Presidents
How I would use this web site for instruction:
The above web page created and maintained by the White House, contains biographical sketches for all of the U.S. Presidents. This site would be an excellent resource for a social studies lesson on the Presidents or American Government. I can see using it as a place for students to complete a Presidential Scavenger Hunt. A list of questions or incomplete facts would be created that would cover the careers and personal lives of the 44 American Presidents. Students would use the web site to answer the questions and fill in the blanks.

Web Site #2:
WASP on the Web
How I would use this web site for instruction:
The second web site, featured above, would be used in conjunction with Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith. The book will be used as a supplemental text during a lesson on World War II. Students will be able to see the planes used by the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP. Historical images of the women of the WASP, the planes they flew and other fun items can be found on the site. Whether the students are directed to the site for independent exploration or they are walked through a specific task, this site should prove to be an important resource.
