The British Monarchy
http://www.royal.gov.uk/

Do you want up-to-date information about the royal family of England? The site I visited had information about past and present. The monarchy, Princess Diana, and the royal collection can also be found on this site. This site's also good if you're looking for extra information about the royal family.

Paris Pages
http://www.paris.org/

Do you want to know what life in Paris is like? This site tells about the culture and shows you some of its museums and monuments. You can ask questions and find other links about Paris and other cities in France. This site also has some tourist information like where to make reservations for restaurants and hotels. I thought this was a good site because it has many pictures and is easy to read and understand.

Internet Detectives is a publication produced by Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) middle school students as a resource for other K-12 students. It is an ongoing, cooperative effort of middle school Social Studies classrooms. Students find, evaluate and recommend Internet resources related to the curriculum. This project is supported by MMSD's Teaching and Learning Department and Library Media Services.

These Internet resources were evaluated on the basis of Site Selection Guidelines. Questions and comments regarding specific sites can be sent to the classroom teachers listed with the student author and school.

Questions or comments regarding the Internet Detectives project can be sent to Barb Spitz at bspitz@madison.k12.wi.us or (608) 663-1976.
