1 This has students dive deeper into events at the time, the institutions put in place or demolished, and allows for student critical thinking and interpretation. 
2. This is an either or, and has room for discussion 
3. This is societal and structural, it provides interest on an overarching scale.ir also promotes what if thinking, which can be interesting.
4. It let's students pick a side and defend and argument, which motivates people.
5. No, its not too academic

It leads to more questions.]]> 2021-09-23 22:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gsimmo11/m2b3nksc8sz5j2rr/wish/1764144978 https://padlet.com/gsimmo11/m2b3nksc8sz5j2rr/wish/1764145377 In the span of less than five years, three major amendments were added to the constitution - all to support the rights of African Americans. Why was it so difficult for these amendments to be enforced, especially in southern states?

1. It promotes digging deeper by making the student think about the difficulties African Americans faced even after the war.

2. It's debatable because it didn't happen everywhere, and some people could assume that law enforcement wouldn't hold bias against laws.

3. I want to answer it because the significance of the three amendments, and it is also important to understand the struggle of former slaves even decades after the end of the civil war. 

4. Students should care about it because racism is very much alive today, and it all stems from the Civil War

5. It is not too academic, I think it allows them to think critically without leaving the document given to them. ]]> 2021-09-23 22:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gsimmo11/m2b3nksc8sz5j2rr/wish/1764145377 lkckcb https://padlet.com/gsimmo11/m2b3nksc8sz5j2rr/wish/1764150065 Should the Reconstruction era be considered a success or a failure? 

1) It promotes digging deeper because it makes students analyze the changes that this era brought about. 

2) Because it is open-ended, students can consider multiple perspectives when thinking about how Reconstruction effected American society. 

3) Students would be motivated to answer the question in their own way through evidence they would find to back their answer.

4) The period of Reconstruction was a time where the United States were going through a major societal and political changes. Legislations made during the Reconstruction period are still relevant and used today, such as the amendments. Additionally, the social consequences of reconstruction can be felt today as well.

5) The question is simple and easy to read, so it is not too academic.

6) The question is open-ended and will prompt more questions to help students reach their own answer.
