    Stanford History Education Group is a resource I've used throughout the school year. After signing in (account is free), I search for topics such as Confucianism and Daoism (link above) and find lesson plans. The lesson plans come with primary sources that give students an opportunity to think like an historian. This particular lesson plan for the two schools of Chinese philosophy allowed me to use higher level texts to assess my student's comprehension. One document is from Dao de Jing, another from The Chinese Classics. Students have to read both documents to determine which is Confucius and which is Daoist. There are all kinds of history topics on this website. I find it so useful as a History teacher!

    Thank you for sharing SHEG website. It is highly respected website and I knew that SHEG has great resources for incorporating primary sources for US history lessons but I did not realize they also had world and ancient history resources. Sam Wineburg the researcher behind this resource also has numerous books out including Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts and more recently Why Learn History. He also has a twitter account @samwineburg and tweets history education related information out there.
