Hello AHTC teachers!
I'd like to direct your attention to a really neat online tool. Time magazine has digitized their archives from their founding in 1923 to the present. Beyond viewing all of the covers for the last 87 years, you can keyword search for articles or covers. Additionally, the website has covers sorted by categories such as 'Religion' or 'Presidents." You can also sort through the collections, which are selected covers and article excerpts on a specific topic. They provide an excellent overview of Time's coverage of a topic chronologically. The website has some great features, including browsing tips and a section highlighting the first mention of people who went on to be quite famous.
The archive is fun to idly browse but it can also be a great tool for finding primary sources, examining news coverage of a specific event, looking at how coverage changed over time. There are tons of different ways to use this resource, and we'd love to hear what fun things you find or what great ways you find to use this in your classrooms!
