The Gettysburg Address with some music and pictures. It needs photo identifications, but the address is well read. It would be best if students would have their own copy of the speech so they can better understand its many meanings.

This three minute video shows how Labo(u)r Day started in Canada and was copied in the United States of America. A worthwhile overview, but needs more history before students can understand the drama that this event represents.

Fun pictures to accompany the song written by Johnny Horton's song, the Battle of New Orleans. A good example of what students can do, but beware of copyright laws. This video could be used as an introduction to the battle in history classes.
