A great website is history.com. It is run by the History Channel and has a ton of free resources on it. There are free videos on the website for just about anything. I have already used three or four videos when teaching a lesson this year at my field placement. The website also interactive games, photos, speeches, audio and biographies. This website has great resources that can be integrated into lesson plans to enhance information. There is also a section called "This Day in History," which talks about important events that happen going day by day and this comes up when you search as well.
However, the best part about this website is that there is a section that has classroom study guides. Some of these classroom study guides are more like lesson plans, and include standards and objectives and how to teach the material. The study guides basically give vocabulary, overview key events and people and go over important ideas. Some of them also include stories and writings by authors from the time period. They also give ideas for activities to do with students as well.
