The Life of a Civil War Soldier
Traveling Resource Trunk
Seventh and Eighth Grade
Students learn about the Civil War as they read primary sources and interpret history using artifacts. Original artifacts could not be included for preservation reasons, but high quality reproductions allow them to be used by students without fear of misinterpretation or creating “wrong stories.”
Lessons included in the trunk will introduce students to “reading” artifacts and other primary sources as they study the Civil War. Historic photos, recipes, vocabulary words, and reproducible worksheets are included on a CD.
The items contained in this trunk make it a great program addition in non-classroom settings. Youth groups find it useful in meeting badge or project requirements. The hands-on components lend themselves to discovery center areas in museums and libraries. The objects in the trunk bring additional meaning to programs in retirement and assisted living centers.
