Description

Allow your students to explore the key events of the Civil War with readings and video links on QR Codes. Your students will analyze the essential question “Which would inspire you to fight harder – fighting for your home or fighting for your country?” through primary sources images, content readings, and video clips.

Students will begin this lesson with a hook where they discuss the essential question. Your students will analyze primary source images about the specific events during the Civil War and then they will use QR Codes to watch a video and answer questions. Your students can use their smart phones and headsets for this portion of the activity. After watching the video and discussing questions with a partner, they will annotate a map with the key events of the Civil War. Students complete the activity by creating a spectrum answering the question – What event in the Civil War made the most difference in the outcome?

A preview, graphically organized notes and a processing assignment are included in this activity – perfect for your Interactive Notebook!

This activity will support your ELL students through the use of images and video clips.
