Description

This Reconstruction PowerPoint Lesson is an engaging and visually powerful overview of the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War.

The 24 slides feature powerful pictures to engage your visual learners, English-language learners, and special education students, and breaks down simply why Reconstruction came to an end.

Included topics include details on:

  • Each major plan for Reconstruction
  • The Reconstruction Amendments
  • Andrew Johnson
  • Ulysses S. Grant & Robert E. Lee
  • Rutherford B. Hayes
  • Radical Republicans
  • Scalawags & Carpetbaggers
  • Sharecropping
  • Black codes
  • The Freedmen's Bureau
  • The KKK
  • The Compromise of 1877
  • The Jim Crow Era
  • ...and more!

A printable guided notes outline worksheet AND cut & fold graphic organizer are both included for students to use as they follow along with the presentation.

Plus you also get a link to a fully narrated "Flipped Classroom" video version of the entire presentation!

It has been proven that students will better comprehend and retain information when it is presented in a visually engaging manner such as this presentation. My students always comment on how much these helped them on our end of year state assessments. Hopefully you will find the same success! This is definitely one of my favorite PowerPoints I have made and I am positive your students will love it!

You can find an excellent interactive companion Evaluating Reconstruction Role Play activity here.

Both Reconstruction resources can also be downloaded at a discount as part of the Civil War and Reconstruction Unit Bundle.

Hey there - sorry to hear you’re having a technical issue! There’s a button on every TpT resource where you can ask a question like this without having to leave a review. There’s a few simple solutions for you. Easiest after downloading this is to go to Google Drive and select the big Plus button to upload a file. Then, select the PPT file you downloaded and it will import right into your Google Drive. You can then open it in Google Slides or use the premade Google Slides link that you’ll see on the first Slide. If you have issues or are unsure of how to import a PPT into Google Drive just shoot me an email at luke@studentsofhistory.com.
