This lesson is about the counter culture and how it dealt with the Vietnam war. I think that this is good for students to see because it opens their eyes to just how strong the counter culture was. As for teaching about Kent State, and other events of the social movement, the fact that With all the information that is available in this article, and the photos, students can see how people dressed in this movement, as well as some of the sub cultures of the counter culture. To look at these photos and see how people lived, you can get an idea of what these people wanted to get out of life.

I feel that his is a good article because it gives you all the basics of the Kent State Massacre. History.com typically has fairly correct information, and this article seems to be legit.

This video would be great to use for a class because it shows the students exactly what went on and brings them into the event. Any time that you can see the things that happened with you own eyes, it brings it past into a present that reading could never do. It is a way to keep your students engaged in what you are trying to teach as well.
