1.  Florida Kids [|[[http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/kids/history.cfmThis|http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/kids/history.cfm]]] This site contains mostly information pertaining to ALL of Florida rather than JUST St. Augustine, but it does provide great background information about Spanish settlement. This website would be great for teachers to use at the beginning of the unit to explain the very start of St. Augustine and what was going on during that time period. There are no lesson plans or worksheets available but there are some great pictures and information. 2.  Exploring Florida [] This website is a great resource for pictures of St. Augustine. In the 3D section for St. Augustine there is an index of different picture galleries to look at. By clicking on the thumbnail for the category you want it brings up pages of pictures. All the pictures have captions so you know what you are looking at. There are pictures of buildings, hotels, the sea wall, historic streets, town cites, etc. This would be great to use as a visual for students. 1.  __World Almanac, Library of the States, Florida: The Sunshine State__ by Patricia Chui I like this non-fiction book about Florida because it relates the city of St. Augustine to the state as a whole. It talks about how it was the first city in Florida and what influence it had on the rest of the state. It shows how control of the state and the city passed through many hands throughout history. At the back of the book there is a time line that shows where the exploration of Florida and the founding of St. Augustine falls into the history of Florida. 2.  __Saints of Augustine__ by P.E. Ryan This is a non-fiction story about two best friends that live in St. Augustine. They go through some hard times and the only thing that keeps them sane is their friendship. This would be a good book to offer to students for independent reading. By reading this book they can relate to the characters and get a subtle feeling for what St. Augustine means to the boys in the story.
