A New School Year Promotion: FREE History Tunes for all your students!

We want you and your students to add music to your new school year! From now until September 1st we will provide an MP3 of all 50 history tunes for each iTunes purchase! What does this mean? It's simple!

1) You (the fantastic teacher) purchases the History Tunes album from iTunes for $9.99. With this purchase you will receive all 50 History Tunes which you can then use in conjunction with the free resources at our site. (these resources include synopsis, lyrics, vocabulary, leveled questions, and test prep).

2) Post here to let us know of your purchase or tell us in an email at historytunes@gmail.com . We just need the date of your purchase, city/state and email address.

3) We will confirm the purchases every Tuesday morning.

4) And on Tuesday afternoon we will send you via email an MP3 of all 50 songs! With this file you can become the coolest teacher in the building because you will have the ability to give it to all your students!

5) Now that your students have History Tunes on their iPods, homework can sound like this; "Your homework tonight is to listen to track 12 and then write a one paragraph summary of the three-fifths compromise". How cool is that?

To get started, download your History Tunes right here, right now from iTunes.

Central High: The Past Comes Alive

Seeing Central High with our own eyes as we drove coast to coast this summer, a 7000 mile journey from NYC to LA and back, was an emotional experience for us. Explaining the history to our children, driving around the neighborhood, and speaking to people about the current conditions of the school really brought the past alive. We were left wondering if the students that attend this school today understand the place in history their school holds.
