Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use the video in conjunction with a student activity that has them curating a museum exhibit focused on the Civil War or another historic period/event you are studying. What insights about presenting items in an exhibition can students use for their own curating experience?
- As learners view this program, they should take note of artifacts seen, stories told, and events or people mentioned that they are intrigued by. Have students select one of those items for an independent or group extension activity that uses learning from this video as a starting point for learning more about the Civil War.
