Focus: Society and Landscape in the Antebellum South
Focus: Society and Landscape in the Antebellum South
Guided by Standard HSS 8.7.3, this resource collection examines the rigid social hierarchy and economic classes that defined the Southern United States before the Civil War. The curriculum utilizes a Puzzle Pack for key term reinforcement—specifically deconstructing the roles of the planter elite, yeoman farmers, poor whites, and enslaved persons—and an interactive Trivia Game to analyze how land ownership and labor dictated social status. Students synthesize these "Southern Society" concepts through a PBL Choice Board that includes infographic creation, video reporting, and comic strip storytelling. By analyzing the structural inequalities of the era, learners engage with essential questions regarding class, power, and the cultural landscape of the South, ensuring a "Radiant" and differentiated educational experience.
