Civil+War



===The Civil War unit is divided into three sections. Each section culminates with a game of Civil War jeopardy. The game is followed by a review period and a game of double jeopardy. Other experiences include reading Gary Paulsen's //A Soldier's Heart// and writing a single-page book report on it. Excerpts from authentic Civil War journals and letters will also be read and responded to. Each student will select a character/role and compose a journal from the perspective of that character. The journals should reflect a thoughtful blend of creative fiction intertwined with real historical events and situations.===
