Overview
Throughout this unit, our class learned about the overall causes and motives behind the civil war, as well as going in-depth into the battles. We accomplished this through group presentations, lectures, and note-taking. To wrap up the unit, we had a college-style test.
Work/Final Products
In small groups, we were assigned to create and present detailed depictions of a specific Civil War battle. My group presented about the Battle of Antietam, for which we made a slideshow presentation and an online "handout" for our classmates to complete.
