During the Civil War unit, we took notes, had discussions, watched clips from movies and documentaries, and participated in a few activities. It seemed to me that the students gained an appreciation for the struggles of that time period and why it is one of the most defining American events.
We will move on to do some preliminary research before beginning the unit on our research paper. Look for more information on that soon!
Here are some pictures of our field hospitals. Sadly, some students did not make it through the class period. The students were pretty grossed out to learn about the medical conditions during the war and thought it crazy that so many soldiers died from disease rather than on the battlefield.
