AHA: New Teaching Resources for History Teachers: 2013 Inauguration Portal

The American Historical Association has featured a series of teaching and learning resources on the subject of American presidential inaugurals. Vanessa Varin wrote:

As the nation’s capital busily prepares for inaugural festivities on Monday, January 21, history teachers may be contemplating new ways to look back at inaugurations of the past. Why not start a discussion about the role of poetry in inauguration festivities by reading Robert Frost’s poem from John F. Kennedy’s inauguration? Or, try leading students through a popular digital exhibition of the First Ladies’ gowns and prompt students to look for intersections between the gowns they wore and the changing role of women in politics. These are but a few of the many interesting ways put forth for teachers by the NEH Inauguration resource portal in preparation for the 57th inauguration. The resources in the portal are the product of a joint venture by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the National Archives, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
