SS 8 -- "The Civil War was fought in 10,000 places." This starts PBS' The Civil War by Ken Burns. We watched the first three minutes to start class today to trigger the students in investigating their battles. Step one of creating the Civil War Battle glog occurred today as students finished textbook research. After the text students were directed to use book sources from our LMC and our being held in my classroom. Students are finishing their research today, tomorrow and Monday.
Here are a couple of links to help with the glog:

What is a glog? A glog may best be described as a poster board on steroids. It allows students a creative way to learn and represent a topic they are studying.
Check out Mr. Clark's glog on the Bombardment of Fort Sumter. Students will be required to create a glog on one of eight Civil War battles.

APUSH --> Today we discussed Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation to the Constitution. We use that discussion to evaluate Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution. That led us to further discuss the development of political parties in the early Republic.
