Iraq and the War on Terror
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/terror/
“Iraq and the War and Terror represents a collection of over 40 Frontline web sites that provide in-depth reports on the War on Terror from 9/11 through the recent troop surge in Iraq. Most of the web sites feature extended Frontline video as well as detailed timelines, interviews of key participants, expert analysis, and a discussion forum. This one page is a gateway to outstanding reports on the war in Iraq.”
The Internal Workings of the Soviet System

It includes information on the secret police, the great terror, forced labor camps, collectivization/industrialization, religion, and more. Primary source documents are integrated into the pages. A great breadth of information.”

The Ramayana provides insights into many aspects of Indian culture. This site includes a brief (and long) synopsis of the Rama story as well as many images, such as the "God Posters" or images of Hindu gods in the style of popular Indian posters and calendars. Consider the five lessons on "Moral Dilemmas." They include useful questions for the classroom to help students understand the moral dilemmas in the story and define outcomes and consequences. There is also an article on The Oral Tradition and the Many "Ramayanas."
