I am going to offer a unit on the Civil War and its impact on World History in my World History class (mostly 10th graders) for the first time. They quit teaching about the Civil War in US History that students take as juniors in our district, and I think they need more than what they got in 7th grade. Just saying! I think this blog I added to my RSS will be a great help.
Using the diary of a girl who lived through the events of the disintegration of Yugoslavia at the end of the Cold War, this lesson explores the historical, political, and human aspects of this difficult time. This would be excellent for World History, Geography, and World Literature classes.
Back before there were televisions and computers, there was radio. Families of the 1930s and 1940s would gather around the radio and listen to their favorite programs such as Little Orphan Annie, Amos and Andy, The Guiding Light, and The Shadow.
