Maine Memory Network

After reading all the information about the Maine Memory Network, the lesson plans that are already made, and how students are using it as a tool I came up with a lesson incorporating it. I would have my students, during a Maine unit perhaps, look up all the information they could find about the town they are from, or a town that their parents are from. After they had successfully gathered all the information from this website I would have them write a story about their town. I would have it be a personal narrative where they talk about their favorite part of the town, and I would require it to have some information on the website. I believe this would be a great way to interest them in their history and the history of the town, while still incorporating their own story into the writing.
