Civil War Unit | Contnent Instruction

Ultimately, the goal for my students is to come away with an understanding of what the experiences of the Civil War was like for
soldiers and civilians in both the North and South as well as have a firm knowledge in the key events and people who were important during this time.  I hope to achieve this goal through various hands on projects for individual students and their respective contingents. Students will be able to access data bases of Civil War letters, they will create a Fakebook profile for an individual from this era, and they will utilize Google docs to generate their contingent's Battle questions.  All of these activities will teach students valuable research skills as well as utilizing (and having fun with) their familiarity of Facebook.
