Get Prepared!
Teacher: This is a friendly,
simple, easy approach to using
The Student’s Civil War
materials to teach as little, or as
much, as you wish—in any
timeframe convenient for you!
Suitable for grades 4-8.
Start with the
Teacher's Guide for
Lesson Plans and
other tools to help
you help students
effectively navigate
through the Student
Workbook.
Set the Scene!
Read
“The
Civil
War
in a
Nutshell” to
give students a quick,
dramatic, entertaining
overview of the war.
War Begins!
Go to
www.thestudentscivilwar.com
to hear the “rebel yell”!
Have your students read aloud each
day the real words of the war's many
participants.
Use quiz after Chapter 4 to review
pre-war events.
Put up your
Bulletin Board and
Timeline to start
what will become
a dramatic
Resource Center!
Before the War…
Read about the Underground
Railroad.
Help students learn all that led to the war.
