Literature suggestions/5 paragraph prompts

Hi Carolyn Lunger thanks for reaching out. When you say literature do you mean a textbook or other supplemental readings? Depending on your goals and class needs there are lots of good textbooks but I’ve found that the OER readings do a great job of giving my students the information they need (so I’ve ditched my textbook when using this course). 

In regards to your question about the essay, anything labeled as an LEQ is what you’re looking for.

Hope this helps!

Literature-meaning non fiction stories about that time period

I do not want textbooks. I want good, wholesome, rich literature about that time period. 

For non-fiction, primary sources, I strongly recommend the searchable Library of Congress.  For example, here are primary sources on the Industrial Revolution, located there.  I like Docs Teach for WWI resources, especially letters. Here are some good ones on The Vietnam War.

Carolyn Lunger , if you are looking for a literature connection, some publishers include them with textbook resources. 

Here's a few.  Let me know if this is they type of material you are looking for.
