Notable
North Carolinians: Discover
famous...and not-so-famous North Carolinians from every corner of the
Tar Heel State. Students research state history and learn about the
people who contributed to North Carolina's rich heritage and history.
Includes rubrics, templates, and everything you need. Here's
a great idea: Start your own state's
"Notable" site and we will point to you from MidLink.

Making
Sense of the Census! What happened to population in your county in
1790? 1860? 1960? Explore correlations between the size of farms
and the number of slaveholders and slaves recorded in historical
documents. How active were manufacturers or churches in your
region? Were women employed in significant numbers? Get the
answers to these questions and more by asking questions and formulating
hypotheses. Compare data visually by graphing and analyzing.
Discover
what happened in your backyard and think about the anomalies of your
region.
