Here’s what’s included with each complete activity set:
1. A one-page Reconstruction background close reading to be read as an introduction with the class.
2. A two-page graphic organizer that students complete while viewing the Reconstruction Gallery Walk, Stations, or Resource Swap. The graphic organizer has a great closing activity that can be done as homework or in class after the investigation. In the closing activity, students defend a claim by choosing resources as evidence.
3. A Google Ready graphic organizer, ready for students to type in responses.
4. Ten varied primary source and secondary source documents and charts. Specifically, students analyze political cartoons, war casualty charts, amendments, newspaper clippings, and political propaganda.
