I could use Padlet or MindMeister to have students create a dynamic timeline of the Civil War's causes, battles, and lasting impacts. They could collaboratively document key events such as the Missouri Compromise, the Dred Scott decision, the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Emancipation Proclamation, while also analyzing their significance and long-term effects. This interactive approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of the historical context but also enhances critical thinking and collaborative skills among students.
