Compare and Contrast of the Civil War

I taught my students about compare and contrast. This was an easy concept for them to learn because we have already done SO much of this. 

This time we compared The North and The South during the Civil War. I wanted my students to compare the two so then it will help understand the differences and some of the causes of the war. 

I gave students different articles and books to look at to help compare and learn about the two sides. Then they filled out their own charts. After they filled out their own charts we came together as a group to fill out a group chart, that way we could discuss each idea and sort out any misconceptions.
