Craig and I looked at an FYI from BrainPop about "Uncle Tom's Cabin". We also examined two different Civil War maps and posted them on his wall. We reviewed vocabulary and discussed - popular sovereignty. He will have a vocabulary quiz next week. Craig completed a bellringer activity where he examined photos and discussed them. We looked at the timeline and added events. We read about the Civil War and I gave him printed notes to use as an outline. He also completed a primary source analysis activity. Finally, we looked to BrainPop and internet sources to learn more about Lincoln. Craig was surprised to learn that he was assassinated when the Civil War ended. We discussed secession and the importance of knowing why the North and South were so different. To remember the major differences, we annotated the text together.
