The Cold War and Stuff, a history class taught at Willamette Valley Community School during Spring Term 2005 by John M. Burt. Topics covered include the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, Reaganism, the New World Order and the New American Century, but above all on the fears and expectations of the people living through history.
I took the students to the Public Library to look at various online resources. They read several different timelines of events, and were assigned to post at least one substantial comment at the Yahoo group about an item on a timeline (the raising of the Berlin Wall, the Soviet space prgram, &c.).

I live in a decrepit but much-loved Victorian in a sleepy college town. Every day, I climb the five-story ladder to the snug little lookout (very similar to the Forest Service lookouts my wife used to work on before she met me) perched on top of the house, in order to write this blog. I'm sure the lookout tower would be a very impressive sight if it weren't imaginary.
