Curious about what happened on a certain date in history?
Dates That Matter is a free, online tool that explores historical events from ancient history to the 1990's. Each day the site features an event and poses a series of questions to spur discussion and build understanding. Music and visual cues add suspense and appeal for students with various learning styles. Dates That Matter helps upper elementary to high school students understand historical events in context.
Teachers can use the projector and white board-ready resource for history mini-lessons, explore links and support materials for complete lessons, and build background knowledge to prepare students for standardized tests.
