There are examples on this site of everything from Stowe's handwritten pages of manuscript to examples of art and stage. The teachers hints in the interpret mode were helpful as well.
I could use parts of this in my middle school history class.

I highly recommend this for high school or college teachers working with UTC. This provides a lot of historical context in multiple media, as well as critical essays from scholars that teachers can use as exemplar texts with students.
