Amy Burvall and Herb Mahelona, two very talented and creative history teachers, have created a number of music videos on key moments from history. The videos are always shown with the subtitled lyrics...a great plus for ELs!
History Teachers Channel is a Youtube channel that has all of the videos.
See info on Amy Burvall from Teachers for Tomorrow blog.

Check out the excellent resources for teaching Social Studies from the Classroom Aid website!
Another great resource is Gooru Learning. Just search your topic and you will find videos, lessons, slides, assessments and more!
Foldables can even be used in the social studies classroom. Take a look at these examples based on Dinah Zike's work, but focused on U.S. History. An excellent site with lots of pictures of examples.
