Access Islam, an educational tool produced by WNET Channel Thirteen in New York City, is a tremendous resource for educators looking for ways to convey the rich history and practices of Islam to students in the fourth through eighth grades. While RealPlayer is required to watch the video segments, which originally aired on the PBS series, Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly, including documentary footage of Muslim Prayer, Somali Muslim in Maine, and other fascinating topics, most of the resources are available without any extra applications. Readers may like to begin with the excellent Timeline, which begins with the life of the prophet Muhammad (560-661), moves through the great Muslim dynasties of the Umayyads, the Abbasids, the Sejuks and the Fatimids, and the Ottoman Empire, before culminating in the Modern Era. Educators will find much to appreciate in the ten lesson plans listed on the site, including expositions on Ramadan Observance, The Five Pillars of Islam, and the Hajj: Journey to Mecca, among other topics. The site also features an excellent, alphabetically organized Glossary.
