I will be teaching a 5 week unit to 8th grade students. My unit is going to focus on the evolution of North Carolina starting in 1900. This unit will start with background on Rip Van Winkle, who was this? How does it apply to NC? Then we will move into NC awakening, the Indian removal, slavery, the civil war, and will end after the Gettysburg Battle. There will be things in between the few events I noted. I plan to use literature in this social studies unit, as well as, group work, presentations, "war" games, and some acting out. I am excited to teach this unit! If anyone has any creative ideas on how to teach this time period, feel free to add them on my page!!
