There are books at varying levels and helpful filters to target the specific needs of each student's project.]]> 2022-04-18 04:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146567623 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146570701 This film is often shown in 8th grade History classes as a representation of the different views people held during the Civil War. From abolitionists, to racist and/or slave-owning Union military, educated free blacks, to former enslaved populations now fighting for freedom, this film demonstrates the experiences in an unforgettable way that allows students of all language proficiencies to access it. This film is based on the letters and writings of Denzel Washington's character, Trip, and is an excellent example of the oppressed perspective. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146570701 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146571962 A simple picture book that would allow for more students in a given class to follow the story. This book could be an excellent read-aloud to introduce a lesson on the Emancipation Proclamation. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146571962 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146574479 A lesson on Uncle Tom's Cabin and the events at Harper's Ferry to be adapted. This comparison is a great way to structure understanding the perspective of white abolitionists leading up to and during the Civil War.]]> 2022-04-18 04:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146574479 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146575388 A PBS video on how the one book had such a major impact on people's views of slavery. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146575388 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146577983 An excellent video with continuous and consistent visuals. This video not only details the Missouri Compromise, but the continued tension and conflict that eventually lead to Southern Secession and the Civil War. The youtuber speaks slowly and in common terms so he is much easier to follow than CrashCourse US History and other channels we use. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146577983 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146583292 Just one example of the music section of this website. Discussing the music of the Civil War is a great way to analyze another use of language and discuss why there are so few primary sources from the enslaved perspective. How music impacted the course of the war and the role it played not only demonstrates an aspect of the time period's culture, but also reminds us that most of the written accounts we have are from a white perspective. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146583292 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146586587 This video would need to be an EdPuzzle in order to break up the speaker as he talks fairly quickly. EdPuzzle would allow me to insert notes to clarify things the speaker mentions off-hand as well as questions to check for understanding as the video progressed. This does express the overall reactions different countries had to the Civil War though and "zooms out" our lens in 8th grade history to consider the impact US History has had on the rest of the world as well. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146586587 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146591382 A selection of primary sources that have had a hand in shaping African American History. These could be helpful as entrance tickets to get students thinking, introductions or artifacts to drive home the reality of the history being discussed, and/or a starting point for students wanting to learn more about the African American experience in US History. This is also helpful for teachers to include throughout US History curriculum as it presents an additional perspective to all events being discussed. It helps to keep the minority groups at the front of the conversation as well as those who wrote the accounts in textbooks. ]]> 2022-04-18 04:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146591382 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146593294 Another collection of Primary Sources broken down by time period and topic to help include the oppressed perspective in discussion of historical events.

Many students have heard of her but know nothing beyond the fact that she wouldn't sit in the back of a bus. This investigation would be a great way to have students practice summarizing skills and understand the gravity of what Rosa Parks did and how it impacted the country. ]]> 2022-04-18 05:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146596026 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146597307 About 1600 resources surrounding African American History to ensure its inclusion in US History classes. ]]> 2022-04-18 05:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146597307 kahunt2 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146598023 An archive of racial segregation laws, could be helpful when covering Reconstruction. ]]> 2022-04-18 05:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2146598023 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2166038348 2022-05-01 22:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2166038348 https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2166191155 This is the curriculum my site's department has used since before I started in the district. It's got an excellent balance of content and modifications for various types of learners. That said, over the last 3 years, I've worked on tweaking the structure of the different lessons I've used to fit the needs of my learners in the moment. I imagine I will continue to improve on them throughout my career as long as I continue to utilize this resource. ]]> 2022-05-02 02:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kahunt2/siedfli1hbawrbzp/wish/2166191155
