Brief Overview
(Summary of Unit)
The Civil War unit that I have created has a variety of other content
areas mixed in to ensure all students are engaged and learning.
Although, the time frame of this unit is short is allows for students to
get their toes wet in the Civil War. They will understand the
differences of the north and south by looking at posters, pictures and
listening to music. They will look at the different soil and water
resources and discuss how water and soil are important for crops.
They will be able to graph the percentages of water and fresh water
as well as graph the number of battles from the Civil War. Students
will hear music from the North, South and from Slavery. They will
analyze their feelings and connect the music to the pictures, posters,
stamps and anything else that they may come across. By the end of
the unit we will have a timeline made from each group that will act
as a tool to study from.
