Summary: |
|||||||||
| This is a fictional and personal account of the first great battle of the Civil War, as told from the points of view of 16 participants, Northern and Southern, male and female, black and white. | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Map studies are possible, as are lots of comparison/contrast activities, such as North versus South, leaders versus "privates," those in the battle versus outsiders. Groups of students might select characters and then study each and retell (through writing or oral interpretation) that character's story. A focus on point of view will also be possible since characters are all reflecting on the same event. www.civilwar.com | |||||||||
