Our history unit about slavery and the Civil War has been completed, and what a wonderfully rich unit it was!
Slavery and Civil War Teaching Resources
You might remember from my post about Planning a Large Unit Study, that I pick and choose the best ideas for our learning styles and learning objectives from many resources.
While this particular study was mostly literature-based, there were some fabulous materials that provided many of my lesson plans. By mostly literature-based, I mean: we chose really good books and learned about the life of slaves and struggles of the Civil War through the living literature (listed below.) Between books, field trips and hands-on projects, I don’t think there’s a much better way to learn history!
