F. Rationalization of Mini Units and Order


The first mini-unit will introduce, or reintroduce terminology, issues, politics, and key figures that aided in instigating the secession of the South and the beginning of the War Between the States. This mini-unit will present the main conflict, slavery, which almost single handedly divided the nation. This will familiarize the students with exactly what occurred in the nation during the Antebellum Era prior to the Civil war. It is the mini-unit that instills the information required for the foundation that is necessary for understanding to event that followed the separation of the Union and the Confederacy. The second mini-unit regards the beginning and middle of the actual fighting element of the war. It will introduce key battles, events, and figures that came on the scene during times of battle. This mini-unit will also help the students become acquainted with the foremost political document that was passed during the time of the Civil War. During this part of the unit students will become knowledgeable of the significant differences between North and South. The third mini-unit addressed the progress and conclusion of the actual fighting portion of the war. This section of the unit will discuss the effect the war had on everyday life of the families and soldiers. The mini-unit will illustrate the violence of the war, and will bring forth the knowledge of the assassination of the sitting president. The forth mini-unit will regard the effects of the war on North and South after the war. This section will address the plans for the Reconstruction Era, and the inauguration of a new president. This will allow the students to see the nation post-slavery, and see how the freedman coped with freedom. The students will become acquainted with the organizations that will play a role in reconstruction which will be addressed extensively in the next unit. This mini-unit will require the student to practice public speaking rules, the use of formal writing rules. This will emphasize the significant role slavery played in redefining the nation.
5

The arrangement of the mini-units was designed to guide the students from the causes and origin to the conclusion of the Civil War. It was necessary to introduce the source of the conflict, and to create a foundation before jumping into the details only pertaining to the combat section of the Civil War. It is important for the students to know that the Civil War was predominantly a political battle fought through the means of combat instead of diplomacy. Because the arrangement of the mini-units are chronological order, the students are able to grasp the whole picture in detail at the end of the unit as opposed to just specific characteristics of what happened in the Post-Antebellum Era.

students learn information, concepts, and themes of the unit with the coursework that is posted on the bulletin board on the back wall and also the lesson reviews within the textbook. (See Appendix A-2)

B. Giving Student Rational for the Unit


If students express that the content of the unit is not important or irrelevant, then they will most likely be apathetic towards learning the material, and will not gain anything from it. Therefore, the teacher will begin the unit by a teacher brief review of the previous unit allowing the students to discuss the conflicts that arose (slavery, separation of political parties, rise in arguments of states rights), key figures that were on the scene (Abraham Lincoln, the important African American Slaves that had made names for themselves), and what the important events that occurred in this time. The teacher would then ask the class what they thought was going to happen next. After taking the students replies, the instructor will then ask the class such questions as: What are the two sides of the issue of slavery? How is the government handling the issue of slavery? What do you (class) think should be done about this issue?

C. Reviewing Entry Behaviors


The instructor will introduce the The Union In Peril unit by reading a passage from Confederacy Macmillan Information Now Encyclopedia, "The Confederacy" by Robert Francis Engs. SLAVERY DURING THE CIVIL WAR Although slavery was at the heart of the sectional impasse between North and South in 1860, it was not the singular cause of the Civil War. Rather, it was the multitude of differences arising from the slavery issue that impelled the Southern states to secede. The presidential election of 1860 had resulted in the selection of a Republican, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois, as president of the United States. Lincoln won because of an overwhelming Electoral College vote from the Northern states. Not a single Southern slave state voted for him. Lincoln and his Republican party were pledged only to stop the expansion of slavery. Although they promised to protect slavery where it existed, white Southerners were not persuaded. The election results demonstrated that the South was increasingly a minority region within the nation. Soon Northerners and slavery's opponents might accumulate the voting power to overturn the institution, no matter what white Southerners might desire. Indeed, many Southern radicals, or fire-eaters, openly hoped for a Republican victory as the only way to force Southern independence. South Carolina had declared it would secede from the Union if Lincoln was elected, and it did so in December 1861. It was followed shortly by the other lower South states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, and Texas. in February 1861, a month before Lincoln was inaugurated, these states formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. After the firing on Fort Sumter and Lincoln's call for volunteers to suppress the rebellion, the other slave states of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas joined the Confederacy. The border slave states of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri remained--not entirely voluntarily--in the Union. The new republic claimed its justification to be the protection of state rights. In truth, close reading of the states secession proclamations and of the new Confederate Constitution reveals that it was primarily one state right that impelled their separation: the right to preserve African American slavery within their borders. But the white South's decision to secede proved to be the worst possible choice it could have made in order to preserve that right. There was enormous antislavery sentiment in the North, hut such sentiment was also strongly anti-Negro. White Northerners did not wish slavery to expand into new areas of the nation, which they believed should be preserved for white nonslaveholding settlers. This was, in part, why Republicans pledged to protect slavery where it existed. They and their constituencies did not want an influx of ex-slaves into their exclusively white territories, should slavery end abruptly. Some historians argue that, had the South remained within the Union, its representatives could have prevented any radical Northern plan for emancipation. By leaving the Union, white Southerners gave up their voice in national councils. Moreover, by seceding, the South compelled the North to realize the extent of its allegiance to a united American nation. Thus, the North went to war to preserve the Union, and the white South went to war for independence so that it might protect slavery. Most participants on both sides did not initially realize that the
3

African American slaves might view the conflict as an occasion that they could turn to their own advantage. Once the teacher is done reading the passage regarding slavery during the time of the Civil War, he/she will then turn the students attention to the interactive bulletin board (See Appendix A-2) in the back of the class room. The bulletin board will contain a hard copy of the unit objectives, sub-objectives, and assignments that the students will need to do to accomplish this unit. The teacher will then take any question the students have about the content of the bulletin board. From there, as a class, the first section of the text will be read aloud. By taking these steps the student will see where they have been, what is going on, and will have a preview of where they are going to do within the unit.

D. Structure Overview of the Unit


Most students tend to better understand what is expected of them when they are given a visual aid to guide them. Therefore, the teacher will distribute a hard copy of a structural overview (graphic organizer) of the unit plan (See Appendix A-1). The instructor will then explain the structured overview by analyzing aloud each mini-unit, and will answer any question the students may have regarding the unit in question. During this time, the teacher will explain to the students the large assessments that will take place during this unit such; the formative and summative evaluations, and the debate project. (The smaller assessments such as class participation grades will be addressed further along in the unit.)

E. Experiential Backgrounds
The teacher will show a film on slavery concerning how the slaves were treated, how the instruction of slavery was different in varying regions of the south, and how the slaves themselves reacted to the mistreatment. After the film the teacher will read three letters written by actual slaves from the book The Slaves War: the Civil War in the Words of Former Slaves. The book will be available, as the peer groups meet to construct their arguments concerning the debate on Pro-slavery verses Anti-slavery views. The teacher will also show a film on the Hatfield and McCoy Feud to emphasis the brother verses brother con cept.

F. Reassuring Standards
The instructor will encourage the student and maintain a positive attitude to keep the students cheerful and optimistic. Also, the teacher will consistently refer to the structured overview to keep the students working and on task, as well as help them feel confident that they are accomplishing the material and completing the assignments. The teacher will tell brief
4

stories about past experiences regarding accomplishments and fears to reassure students of their ability to succeed.

IV. Instructional Phase A. Mini-Unit #1: Civil War: The Divisive Politics of Slavery 1. Plans & Goals for Mini-Unit #1:
Students will identify and define terminology related to the politics and issues that divided nation, and lead to the Civil War. The teacher and the textbook will provide the terms and people the students will be required to know for assessment. The students should be able to recognize the terms and the significance these terms have to the relation of one another, and to the beginning of the Civil War. Students will participate in a graded discussion of these noteworthy for the purpose of understanding, and students will also complete formative assessment.

Sub-Objectives:

1. Define Terms: Fugitive Slave Act, Abolitionists, Northwest Ordinance of 1781, Union, Confederacy, Missouri Compromise 1820, Kansas-Nebraska Act, Compromise of 1850, Franklin Pierce, Popular Sovereignty, Underground Railroad, and Secession. 2. People: Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Franklin Peirce, Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, and Dred Scott. 3. Explain the Importance of the Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, and the Dred Scott decision. 4. Describe how slavery redefined the political parties. 5. Describe the Lincoln-Douglas Debates. 6. Contrast those believing in the opposing sides of slavery.

2. Directed Teaching
The teacher will use the structured overview to prepare the students for Mini-Unit #1, Civil War: The Divisive Politics of Slavery, pointing out the key points of information to be introduced in this mini-unit: differences between the North and South, slavery in the territories, violence, new political parties emerge, conflicts lead to secession, and all of the terminology listed in sub-objective 1. The teacher will begin by giving a brief introduction of Mini-Unit #1. Considering the fact that History is a subject that builds upon itself, the teacher will start the section by asking questions for the purpose of allowing the students to recall what has already occurred in the
5

previous unit, and to provoke the students foreshadow what is going to happen next. The teacher will then pass out photos slaves, and ask the students to make observations from the photo about the symbolism portrayed in the photo of mistreatment and less than human qualities (B-1). The class will then have a brief discussion on the prevailing issue of slavery. The instructor, following the discussion, will hand out an outline for the lecture notes that will contain blanks within it for the students to follow along and fill in as the lecture continues (B-2). The teacher given lecture will emphasis the text, and will make clear the developing politics of the nation, and significant events that occur in the decades before the Civil War concerning slavery.

3. Guided Practice
The instructor will hold a game of Popcorn at beginning of class that will prompt discussion. The teacher will call on random students to answer questions, define terms, and recall specific information from the previous lecture. After the student answers correctly he or she will call on another student, and ask them a separate question from the lecture. If the student does not answer correctly he or she will ask the same question to one of his or her peers. The game will continue until the instructor feel all the important information has been restated. The teacher will regulate a class discussion following the game. During the discussion the teacher will cue the students to give their opinions, analyze relationships, confer about significant pictures, and refer to other relative information. The goal of discussion is to insure the students have succinctly begun to understand the politics and the main issue that lead the nation the Civil War. The objective of the first lesson is to have the students able to recall terminology, discuss significant relationships and analysis, and to get the class involved in an instructive game. Example Questions:

4. Independent Practice
The last half of the class will consist of independent seat work that will cover the section review in the textbook. Student will work quietly at their seat, or with a partner on the section. The terms will either be in the section of the textbook The Divisive Politics of Slavery as well as in the glossary in the back of the book, The Americans. The teacher will collect the terms, people, and questions from the section review at the beginning of the next class period. The teacher will peer check it then, and have the students put the review in the specified divider in their binders. (The students will be assigned to read the next section in the textbook for homework.)

Terms: Fugitive Slave Act, Abolitionists, Northwest Ordinance of 1781, Union, Confederacy, Missouri Compromise 1820, Kansas-Nebraska Act, Compromise of 1850, Franklin Pierce, Popular Sovereignty, Underground Railroad, and Secession. People: Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Franklin Peirce, Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, and Dred Scott. Questions: 1. Review issues & events in this section that reflect the growing conflict between the North and the South. Do you think there were any points at which civil war might been averted? Think about: The Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act & the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The New Political parties The Supreme Courts ruling on the Dred Scott decision. The Election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860. 2. Analyze and critique the Lincoln-Douglas debates. List and explain the main arguments, and describe the significance the debate played in the secession of the South.

5. Formative Evaluation
The teacher will assigned a Section review for the class that will cover the section in the textbook, and the previous lecture. The students will label their papers accordingly, and will organize the review as specified in the text. Grading Criteria: The terms and identify listed in the section review were defined correctly, and the questions were sufficiently completed in paragraph form. Partial credit may be accepted accordingly. Following the peer grading, and collecting of the Section Review the teacher will allow a few extra minutes for study time. The instructor then will then pass out quiz #1. Once the students are done with the quiz, and the teacher has collected it, the students may use the rest of quiz time to read ahead (B-3). Grading Criteria

All terminology is defined or matched correctly. Each short answer question is answered thoroughly and appropriately. All questions are answered, blacks filled, and matching completed. No partial credit.

6. Differentiating Instruction
Re-Teaching Activities The students who have failed to understand the material will be assigned a peer tutor who has themselves mastered the content. The peer tutor will re-explain the content, and help to answer any questions or misunderstood concepts. Extension Activities Vertical Extension: Students who have seemingly mastered the material will assume a role of a young slave around their age. They will create a week in the life of a young slave on a Southern Plantation. Students should make clear the type of slave they have chosen (field & farm hand, house slave, nanny, etc.). They must describe the chores they are required to do as well as show creativity in the story telling skills. Students may create dialogue if desired between the other slaves, and or the plantation family, however, politically correctness will be analyzed and enforced. Horizontal Extension: Students who have mastered the content will be assigned a peer that is in need of extra help to tutor. These students will need to be able to recognize the content, understand how events relate to one another, and are knowledgeable of the significant figures and important concepts.

7. Accommodations & Modifications


Student will compose a journal of a week in the life of a young slave who works in the house with the Plantation Family. They must describe the chores they are required to do as well as show creativity in the story telling skills. Students may create dialogue if desired between the other slaves, and or the plantation family, however, politically correctness will be analyzed and enforced. The student can either type, hand write, vocally record, or oral present the Journal to the teacher, whichever is appropriate for their accommodation. Students may listen to the teacher read letters from slaves during the time of the Civil War and prior. Students will be required to analyze, list characteristics, and develop personal opinions on the letters. These qualifications can be typed, hand written, recorded, or spoken allowed to the teacher.

The peer groups will develop an opening statement, three points in favor of their position, two against the opposing position, and a conclusion statement. The information must contain component of the content discussed and taught in previous mini-units. The goal of the project is for the students to see and understand the significant role slavery played in history, and to teach the 10th grade American history students how to present an argument properly in a debate for that they may or may not themselves agree with personally. Sub-objectives

1. Critique each other on a public speaking view on the Debate 2. Assess debate in peer group and individual tests. 2. Directed Teaching
The instructor will give each individual student a rubric that will describe the requirements of the oral presentation as well as the type of information that need to be researched in order to complete the project properly (F-1). The teacher will write on the board, and read aloud the group which the students are assigned. The students will also receive a contract that will state that each student within the group will complete the work assigned to them, and that tasks will be divided evenly. The peer will be asked to turn in a sheet of paper that will list the tasks they have decided necessary to complete the project sufficiently and beside the task the individual(s) names that are assigned to that task. The task management sheet will be worth 5 points out of the 100 point project.

3. Guided Practice
The instructor will give two class periods for the students to meet and develop their group designed argument statements and main points. The teacher will allow each group two laptop computers from the mobile computer lab for purpose of researching the topic in
46

question. The teacher will monitor the use of the computers by walking around the room every 10 to 15 minutes. Students will receive one warning before disciplinary action will be taken which will be deduction of group grade, or individual punishment. The Punishment is at the teachers discretion. The instructor will also answer any question the students may have, and lead them through the research and development process with insightful and obvious hints, and through a step direction method. There will be no lecture, only a discussion if needed and written directions.

4. Independent Practice
The students will be working within their strategically assigned peer groups (that are based on capabilities) for two class periods. Individual students will be assigned individual tasks to help the group accomplish all the components of the assignment sufficiently. This will be regulated by asking the students to turn in a list of the tasks and who is assigned within the group to accomplish the particular job. The teacher will monitor this by walking around to each group and asking each individual what are you are doing and what is your assigned task? The tasks that are at hand are: Two researchers that will work on the computers two scribes or recording secretaries One spokesman (or spokeswoman) to make the beginning and ending statements One to vocalize the main points of the argument Three students will prepare to answer any question the judge (teacher) may have in support of their argument, One task manager (organizes who does what, and the keeps track of the information for the notebook.)

(This is a total ten student per group.)

5. Formative & Summative Evaluation


The debate will be grade by the rubric that was handed out to the students at the beginning of the project. The debate will be counted as a test grade test for it covers information from all previous mini-units in the Union in Peril unit (F-1). Students will also be asked to grade/evaluate their peers within group on their individual contributions to the group project. There will be a group and an individual grade percentage of the final grade. The peer evaluation will count for twenty points of the grade, but will be at the teachers discretion if the evaluations are accurate. After the presentation the groups will turn in a folder containing all the research, written statements and main arguments, and task management sheet. Point Distribution

6. Differentiating Instruction
Re-Teaching Activities Students will be strategically placed in peer groups based on learning capabilities and work ethic. However for those who are struggling their specific tasks, the teacher will a lot time during class time for the students to ask their questions and receive individual help. Extension Activities Vertical Extension:

The strategically assigned peer groups will contain an equal number of students that have shown in previous units a go getem work ethic, and leadership skills. These student s are commonly the individuals that finish their work quickly and accurately. If they continue this pattern, the students will be asked to help another student (within their peer group) that appears to be struggling with their specifically assigned task. Horizontal Extension: A student maybe asked to keep a record of the time in class in which their group worked specific tasks within their groups. This will be considered a position resembling recording secretary. This will keep the student focused in the work that is being accomplished in the group as well realize the amount of time it take for the individual tasks to be completed. It will also help the group identify what they need to do next within the alternative assessment.

7. Accommodations & Modifications


Those students who are not capable of working in social situations according to their specific disabilities and IEPs will be assigned another comprehensive project. The students will write a two page argumentative research paper elaborating on the slavery debate, and independent research. The student(s) must use information brought forth in the in class debate as well as independent research. The student(s) will be required to include facts from both the pro and anti-slavery arguments, and it must be evident where the student personal stands on the issue.

V. Post-Instructional Phase 1. Reflections Upon Student Performance


Following the completion of the Union In Peril unit, the tenth grade American History before 1877 students that unit was prepared for should be able to display mastery of the of the concepts, terminology, and important events that are stated in the unit objectives. The students should demonstrate their knowledge on the teacher-developed summative unit test, and the class slavery debate with at least an 80%. The teacher designed unit test reaches synthesis level, and the alternate assessment, the in-class debate, reaches evaluations level. Because the unit and the content is carefully organized and arranged to allow for opportunities for feedback and improvement in each mini-unit, students have encountered similar practice assignments that prepares them for summative assessment and alternative assessment. The students should recognize the format of the assessments as well as the content that is presented.

2. Reflections Upon Instructional Activities


In each mini-unit of the Union In Peril each student of the tenth grade American History before 1877 have been provided with the information need to successfully complete this Civil War unit. The students have a structural overview of the over-all unit, maps, notes, section and chapter reviews to guide them through the alternative assessment, and to prepare them for the final summative assessment, teacher derived test. Graded discussion, and teacher given notes is planned thoroughly and sufficiently to prepare the students for all assessments that the students will come across, formative, alternative, and summative assessment.

3. Reflection Upon Formative and Summative Assessment


The formative and summative assessments provided in this unit reaches up to synthesis level. The students are given every opportunity to learn and review the information prior to assessment, as well as opportunity to improve after formative assessment. All the information on the assessments has been introduced by the instructor and reinforced through discussion and section or chapter reviews.
