Introduce the Unit:
Read about the causes of the Civil War, answer comprehension questions, and complete the organizers. The organizers work well for group work.
Character Studies:
Set up a learning station for each of the five historical figures. In a folder at each station include the case studies on each historical figure and mini-booklets with a timeline. Students can complete the Character Mini-Booklets by writing three facts about that person and then putting the timeline dates in the correct order, coloring, cutting, and then pasting them inside their notebooks.
Causes of War:
Read about the main events and battles highlighted and complete the custom-created graphic organizers. Students may need additional resources to answer all the questions on the organizer pages.
Vocabulary Activities:
Introduce or review the vocabulary words with the real-life photo posters included. You could post these posters around the classroom and have students travel around to match up and define the words in their flip flaps or use them as a center activity. These posters make an attractive bulletin board display in a snap.
Results of War:
Read about the results of the Civil War. Bring the students together for class discussions to check for understanding and further their critical thinking skills after each lesson. Have students complete the 5-page Flipbook. They can build it page by page or use it for homework.
At the end of the unit, have students take the Unit Test to check for understanding and evaluate their learning.
