[ISLMA-Share] Illinois resources for 4th grade

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

SS.G.2.4 Analyze how the cultural and environmental characteristics of
places in Illinois change over time

You can do the change through time by looking at maps. There are lots of
historical railroad and highway maps freely available online. Check LOC,
Illinois Dept of Transportation, Illinois Digital Archives, etc. If you
have a poster printer you can print them, but you can also just access them
online.

Love seeing everyone's suggestions.

"*I don't believe that libraries should be drab places, where people sit in
silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild
animals as librarians.*" - Monty Python's Flying Circus, series one, show 10
