5/9/14

I began class today by asking students about their background knowledge of the Civil War.  Students responded to warm-up questions, then we discussed the information as a class.

Next, I gave a lecture on the social and economic factors that led to the start of the Civil War (slides 1-12)

At the end of class, students began working on a DBQ about the social and economic causes of the war.  We will continue working on the DBQ on either Tuesday or Wednesday (following testing).
