Week One of Term Two...the Civil War

This year for the Civil War I am trying something totally new...the entire unit curriculum is based on "The Civil War:  a Film by Ken Burns".  You will receive a video companion worksheet to use while watching each of the nine episodes.  You will also receive a handout for each episode which contains a short overview of the episode, a timeline of the episode, as well as a couple of questions.  After each episode, you will be asked to select one of the questions and answer it on the back of that page.  Some questions may require a bit of research outside of class.  The write-ups for the Civil War can be found on Skyward as well as on a link on the blog (links are located at the top right side of the page.)  A determination as to the format of the test will be made at the end of the unit.  There may be an occasional worksheet and/or handout as we go.  I really believe this will be a fun and interesting look at the Civil War.
