Civil War Battles

Over the past few weeks, the 7th graders have been learning about the Civil War in social studies. We have been using the book "Two Miserable Presidents" by Steve Sheinkin to create simulations of the battles.   The book uses stories of soldiers and quotations from primary sources to bring the battles to life.  Students have then been organizing the battles on a chart and map.  The 7th graders are also working on a list menu throughout the unit.  They are working on several small projects that demonstrate their knowledge about the war.  These projects will be presented at the end of the unit.

Upcoming Dates:

  • Civil War Quiz- Thurs. May 19
  • Civil War Menu-Wed. June 1
  • Civil War Test- Fri. June 3
Questions for your 7th grader:
  • Which side had the best strategy during the Civil War?
  • What advantages and disadvantages did each side have at the beginning of the war?
The cannonballs fly during the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac, two ironclad ships.
