The resource I have found for today’s blog post is called Thoughtco.com. Thoughtco.com is a website focused on “expert-created educational content,” according to their mission statement. Thoughtco provides in-depth articles and lists in order to help students of all ages learn more about what they have a passion for. Thoughtco has extensive sections on STEM, Humanities, Language, as well as educational help resources and study guides for students and parents. Thoughtco exists to make learning easier and provide students and their families with the materials to do so, which is highlighted by a massive bank of resources for SAT, ACT, and college exams.
The main reason I stumbled upon Thoughtco was because I was looking for a book that would work well in my emphasis area: historical fiction in order to show middle schoolers about a historical event while having the entertainment of a narrative. Thoughtco provided me not only with articles about the historical event itself, but also with lists of nationally-recognized historical fiction novels that fit the description and age group that I wanted. It is a near-perfect resource for anyone trying to find content, with both primary and secondary sources, to provide to their students.
