Mommyfaithe Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) only 1 chapter?? REALLY??? I thought 1 card from VP on Korea/ Vietnam was awful...but THE CIVIL WAR only gets 1 chapter...and a skimpy one at that...So, I guess here is where we go down the rabbit trail... Please share your best Civil War/ War Between the States unit studies, books, resources etc. I do have a bunch of reading stuff from going through our history cycles previously, but there must be some new and fun stuff out there. This is for my 7th, 3rd and 1st graders. Faithe Edited February 1, 2011 by Mommyfaithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skadi Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Considering that 70% of my public school's history education focused on the Civil War, I find it refreshing that SWB doesn't overemphasize the event. :P We do a few books for fourth grade: A Nation Torn: How the Civil War Began by Delia Ray Duel of the Ironclads: Monitor vs. the Virginia by Patrick O'Brien Two Miserable Presidents by Steve Sheinkin Iron Scouts of the Confederacy by Lee McGiffin Eyewitness: The Civil War by Stanchek But most of our plans for an in depth look at the Civil War are for eighth grade: The Civil War for Kids: 21 Activities for Kids by Janis Herbert Traveller by Richard Adams The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War by H.W. Crocker The Boys' War: Confederate & Union Soldiers... by Jim Murphy Virginia’s General: Robert E. Lee by Albert Marrin Soldier's Heart by Gary Paulsen Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt The Carpetbaggers by Raatma and Lucia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
