Teaching From the Grave projects help students develop their research and critical analysis skills by recording, organizing and interpreting gravestone information from their town's past. The lesson plans are intended to provide blueprints for schools interested in creating similar projects in their local communities throughout New York State.  Lesson Activity >> Cablevision's Power to Learn and the The History Channel proudly endorse the Teaching From the Grave project, a winner of one of The History Channel's Save Our History awards.
