 * Title: The History Place - Vietnam War


 * Comments: The site provides very accurate information on the Vietnam War. The website is pretty easy to navigate through. I really liked that when I went to some of the links they used a timeline to mark very specific events in the war. They provide information that would be very suitable to use to teach a high school class, even though it's very long and boring to go through. The website is not supported by another institution. I had to go back to the main page to find contact information, but I did end up finding information on the site's main author and information on some of the things he has done in his career. There was some advertising on the website, but nothing that really took my attention away. Information on the Vietnam War hasn't been updated on the site in quite some time, but there is updated information on the main page.**

This website provides a very good time line of the Vietnam War. I could possible use this website in my middle school classroom. The information is worded in a way that even a middle schooler could understand. The only problem I had with the website is the lay-out. Nothing really stands out as you go through the website. If they could present the information in a different form, besides just listing it out, I think students could be able to focus more on the information. -EMG


 * Title: American Civil War**
 * Site URL: []**


 * Comments: This website provides information on important aspects that were involved in the civil war. I found materials that would be good to use in the classroom to teach high school students. There is interesting information on many different things that were involved in the war. This website has many advertisements. They actually have an advertisement looking for more ads to put on their website. It also is not the easiest site to navigate on. I found some of the things I was looking for but you have to look around a little bit to find it.**

This website provides good information and credible authors. Unfortunately, you are right in that there is a lot of advertisements. It can be difficult to navigate but once you find what you're looking for there is tons of information. This site also includes a well processed time line and has tons of information on the civil war. This web site could be for the middle school class or even high school. -ESS
