I was looking around for a site for the causes of the Civil War and found this
Civil War website which has everything you would want for your students if you were doing a web quest. It includes items such as songs (words and audio), weapons (small and large), personal letters, information on both governments, links, battle maps and hey I haven't even mentioned half of the menu.
With all of the talk about states petitioning for secession this topic is very interesting for a 7th or 8th grade social studies class.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great resource as well that I found. I teach a semester course on the Civil War and have used it several times.
