Teaching Ideas: |
This easy-to-read and informational book would make a wonderful centerpiece to Civil War study, perhaps paired with Fleishman's Bull Run or biographies of Frederick Douglass or John Brown. Lots of inquiry projects about particular aspects of the war might follow. Map work can focus on locating battles or tracing Sherman's march to the sea. Students can compare North and South and summarize information statistically, e.g., through proportions or percentages.
