Pre-Day One Hand out Civil War assignment for students to sign up for, along with rubric. (See Appendix) The teacher will use this assignment to connect students’ understanding of the war with the class. Assess both the individual knowledge of the student and enforces teaching during the ten-day lesson plan. Students will need to read pages 94-102 of the textbook, American Nation in the Modern Era. Pre-Day One (OPTIONAL) The teacher may omit the section in Day One of the ten-day lesson plan in regards to the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 if they cover it the day before starting this ten-day lesson plan. The rationale for this would be to increase the show time of Ken Burns’s, The Civil War, to show more commentary and footage from the First Battle of Bull Run. Also, the teacher should connect this part of the pre-day lesson with the section of The Civil War Day one, Section 1, before the Crittenden Compromise. Post-Day Ten (OPTIONAL) Take the students on a field trip to see The New England Civil War Museum & O’Connell-Chapman Military Library in Rockville, CT. The Museum encompasses “the most identified collection of Civil War artifacts in Connecticut. It holds the distinction of being the last Grand Army Hall in the United States that is fully intact and continues to be operated by a Civil War related group. The Museum offers tours to visitors and organizations. The outreach program lecturers to schools and other groups, dealing with many topics of American history.” The O’Connell-Chapman Library covers the history of all the conflicts that the United States has been involved in, from the early Colonial Wars to the Gulf War. The teacher should request the librarian to display an array of unique books from the library to stimulate student interest for future study. 14 Park Place Rockville, CT. 06066 (860) 871-1552 http://pages.cthome.net/ne.civilwar.mus
