Awesome Stories
Awesome stories describes itself as "the story place on the web," and includes descriptions and primary source background materials on current popular movies, American history, religion, disasters, famous trials, biography, religion, inspiration and the law. The background materials come from the Library of Congress, National Archives, the British Museum and universities, libraries historical societies and museums from around the world. Each story has "chapters" and links to the source material. The "Flicks" area may be of particular interest as students can take an interesting film, view it, and read the plot and source materials which put it in context. Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York," for example might be an eye-opener forrecent immigrants into a difficult time for immigrants in 19th century America.

The Change Agent
This bi-annual newspaper for adult education teachers and learners (available free online and by subscription in hard copy for $10/year) promotes social action as an important part of the adult learning experience and enables both teachers and learners to make civic participation and social justice part of their learning. Each issue explores a different social justice topic through news articles, opinion pieces, classroom activities and lessons, poems, cartoons, interviews, project descriptions, and printed and web-based resources. Recently the Change Agent has organized articles in several of its recent issues by reading level so this is an especially hand resource for reading teachers.
