History Channel Mini Series: "America: The Story of Us"

[Tamara J. Fetzer]

Did anyone see that History Channel mini series "America: The Story of Us"? I thought it was a great overview of American history. It begins with the earliest American settlers and ends going into the 21st Century. The interviews shown in each episode contain both experts and pop culture icons. So, students would be familiar with many of the interviewees. Showing one episode would be a great way to either begin or end a history unit.
