Zack's Internet Site []# This website is about the legend that is the "Fountain of Youth." It gives reference to the numerous tales and rumors regarding the famous fountain and its roots. I find it a great tool to bring some "mystery and excitement" to the lesson plan giving the students a chance to hear about the legends of Florida and help as a way to mention Ponce De Leon; possibly introducing him as a person of interest in the lesson.

[] This website is very good in that it lists numerous attractions that are available to be visited in St. Augustine.
