Appendix Implementing District Standards

The North Carolina Standard Course of Study Objectives for Language Arts, Science and Social Studies are addressed in the first paragraph before each activity. The district encourages teachers to write the state standards in student friendly language so they understand what is expected before, during and after the lesson is complete. Additionally, it also cultivates connections and retention of academic concepts between daily lessons. When the administrative team enters the classroom and questions a student about what they are working on; they want to hear and see the connection between what is written on the board (the North Carolina Standard Course of Study Objectives) and the student's response.

Suggestion on Gettysburg Address

Hello Xoe, As a microbiologist and huge Civil War buff I greatly enjoyed your article on infectious diseases during the war. However, one thing you may want to changes relates to the Gettysburg Address. It was given on Nov 18, 1863 and not after the war. Indeed, Lincoln was killed before the war ever ended. Other than that, I thought your article was well written, interesting and informative. Kind regards. John Pisciotta

The Civil War and Disease

The North, in the Civil War had implemented, largely through volunteer efforts, \\"Sanitary\\" methods that had been popularized by Florence Nightingale of Crimean War fame. These methods, and new and innovative methods greatly reduced the effects of disease in the Civil War from previous wars. The effects of disease were still much greater than battlefield fatalities.
