Lesson plans listed here are created by our museum educator, Rebecca Zimmerman. They use local Essex County resources which can be accessed directly on our Primary Resources page. There are also links to primary sources on each session's page. In addition, Essex County educators have produced pre and post lesson activities, some of which are accessible as well. They were created especially for the Essex LINCs seminars. Please contact us if you have any comments or questions regarding these documents.
