Focus: Strategy, Reform, and the Human Face of Conflict
Guided by Standard HSS 8.10.5, this resource collection deconstructs the roles of the pivotal figures who led the nation through its bloodiest struggle. The curriculum utilizes a Puzzle Pack for key term reinforcement—specifically identifying the strategies of military leaders like Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, and the tireless work of social reformers such as Frederick Douglass and Clara Barton—and an interactive Trivia Game to analyze how "Military and Social Leaders" influenced both the battlefield and the home front. Students synthesize these "Leadership and Reform" concepts through a PBL Choice Board that includes infographic creation, video reporting, and comic strip storytelling. By analyzing the intersection of military command and social activism, learners engage with essential questions regarding courage, conviction, and the diverse contributions to the war effort, ensuring a "Radiant" and differentiated educational experience.
