 Tennessean magazine columns
This is the place where you can find History Bill's Tennessee magazine columns. In February 2006, Bill Carey began writing a column that appeared in Tennessee magazine -- the publication produced by the Tennessee Association of Electrical Cooperatives. The columns feature and promote text from the Tennessee History for Kids website. Since Tennessee has an enormous audience -- it is sent to every household in the Volunteer State that gets its power from a rural electric cooperative -- the column has helped spread the word about the Tennessee History for Kids web page, posters, videos, etc.  As teachers have come to use, and depend on, Tennessee History for Kids, many of them have asked if the columns could in some way be "linked" to the page. It is because of this request that this part of THFK has been created. The columns are organized by general subject matter, listed to the left. For instance, there are columns whose subject matter is the Civil War, geography, etc.
These columns are all downloadable in pdf format. Enjoy! |

It was a huge success, and the students had a great time and learned at the same time. Great job on the site, and I will continue to use it in my classroom."
