Impact of the Civil War on the Nation

Today we talked about the impact the Civil War had on our nation in terms of physical, political, economic, and social factors. While I was teaching, students were taking notes of important facts. Then, they shared what they learned by using the TodaysMeet website. Using the iPads, students were able to enter text that would appear in real time on everyone else's screen. Here are screenshots of our experience today on TodaysMeet. Wow, the students learned a lot! We will start our lesson tomorrow by reviewing with these facts.

Abolitionists

Today while learning about abolitionists in social studies, the students completed a project on the iPads using the Popplet app. They made graphic organizers to help explain important information about the abolitionists of the Civil War. Below are their final products. The students did a great job!
