Unit TimeLine
I have a ninety-minute block that is devoted to reading, and a forty-five minute block dedicated to both Writing and Social Studies. Based on this type of scheduling, I can commit at least four periods a week of classroom instruction to this curriculum unit over the course of six weeks. I plan to implement three lesson plans and classroom project that include teaching the students about the Civil War, reviewing and assessing historical documents as they relate to the Civil War and the African-American soldier, discussing the African-American soldier's role and contributions to the Civil War and, finally, historical documentation, research and replication. Each lesson will be a stepping stone to the next, leading up to the creation of a classroom museum with their work on exhibit. The following lessons can be used as a supplement of the required social studies curriculum. Lessons will be implemented as indicated:
- Week 1 - Lesson 1
- Week 2 - Lesson 2
- Week 3 - Lesson 3
- Week 4 - Classroom Project
- Week 5 - Classroom Project
- Week 6 - Classroom Project
