| Alan Haskvitz says: "These resources were
selected because they cover a wide variety of grade levels and
offer a more traditional view of patriotism. I have tried to
avoid controversial sites, but if you teach children capable
of understanding differing viewpoints, I encourage you to spend
time exploring the various uses of the term patriotism."
"A good place to find general history and government
resources to create your own lesson plans is Reach Every Child."
