Welcome to Georgia Stories!

This website supports the Georgia Social Studies curriculum for 8th grade students. And, it's for anyone interested in Georgia history. The site is coordinated with the excellent series Georgia Stories produced by Georgia Public Broadcasting Education. As you explore the site, you will discover many educational resources for each potential study topic. Bear in mind we are constantly adding content to the site. Check back often to see what new content may be of interest.

There are a total of 107 Georgia Stories video segments, and each one is linked to a specific Georgia Performance Standard. This is to aid educators who need to teach state-mandated topics in Georgia history. If a teacher knows what topic from the “GPS” he or she will be teaching during any given week, they can do a search for that GPS on the Georgia Stories site, or browse an index, and be provided with a list of all related Stories.

Georgia Stories would not be possible without the support of our contributors. Click here to view the contributor page. For a more detailed explanation of the many components of Georgia Stories, click here.
