Whether you're looking to finally start that vampire novel you've been hashing out in your head or simply want to start your term paper on the changes Napoleon brought to France, chances are you've run into some trouble focusing, being inspired or just getting started, BestEssayTips.com has some easy techniques to help you through.
I personally find that getting the little bit of inspiration out on paper, and editing it later many better, and much more famous writers have different ideas.
Journaling is a good strategy. This can be as simple as just letting it all out. Your thoughts, your clever sentences, a visual of character relationships or anything that comes to mind (or paper... or computer.)

Sydney and Max Blast Through The Past – An American History DVD series for kids.
The past generation had Schoolhouse Rock, this new
generation can now learn from Sydney and Max. “Sydney and Max Blast Through the Past” is a new DVD series
that provides a fascinating study of American history through the eyes of
teenagers. It is unlike any series ever produced because it is built around the
idea of teens teaching teens; kids are loving it.
This
series is designed for children ages 10 – 16 and is guaranteed to encourage
critical thinking as viewers follow Sydney and Max’s investigation into
America’s past. The music,
dialogue, and episode length were all specifically designed to hold the
attention of today’s young people. The primary purpose is to present each short
episode in a way that is entertaining and fast paced and will introduce kids to
valuable historical information without them realizing that they are actually
learning. The unique aspect of the series is that it educates kids by using an
entertaining format. The Sydney and Max series does this by acting as a hook
that raises the curiosity of kids so that they genuinely want to learn more
about a specific historical event or time period.
The DVD consists of:
- Fifteen episodes that each run approximately 8 minutes
- Open-ended discussion questions available for download from the disc
Special Bonus Offer
- Individual episodes can be purchased from the website and downloaded immediately
Teachers have been thrilled by the response from
their students and some parents have even purchased sets for their home. Check out our website at: www.sydneyandmaxeducate.com

The History Blog
There is man named Livius, who endeavors not to suck. In fact he's great. He gives context to all things history. Mostly medieval and Ancient European history (but isn't that usually the most interesting anyway?), but his thoughts and postings run the gambit.

The Civil War - A Concise History - Book Review
With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War fast approaching, it is probably time you brushed up on your Civil War history. If you're in need of a refresher on the topic or have never ventured into the Civil War era, The Civil War: A Concise History
Author Louis P. Masur begins with the causes of the conflict and continues year by year covering major political, social events of the time. Not to mention the military events, battles and important characters of the war.
The book
How the war changed from an effort to restore Union towards an all-out war that would change the fundamental existence of the Southern society. And how the war changed to become a battle to abolish slavery.
Masur continues in the aftermath of the war, including post-war policy and reconstruction. It's a good introduction into this very complicated era of American history.
