CIVIL WAR WEEK an INTEGRATED
CURRICULUM
|
|
|
Each class during the week
has a different
presenter for each class period. The
presenter presents a program during
the Social Studies class. The week is
completed with a visit by the
16th President of the United States
Abraham Lincoln |
|
Each day a different
presenter presents a
program on the life of a person who lived
in the civil war period. A civil war
soldier
or a person that lived during the
hardships of the times. Students ask
Questions of the presenters to better
understand this time in history.

|
All classes during the week
are a part of this integrated curriculum.
The students dress in
period cloths. This seemed to make a much more meaningful experience
for
8th grade students. Other students look
forward to this experience at MMS in their final year of Middle School. |
 |
An Assembly Program for
the
Middle School started in 2001.
It was expanded in 2002 and took on a more Patriotic theme. The
School Band and Choir presented special musical selections for this
part of the Day. President Abraham Lincoln spoke about Julia Ward
Howe and how she wrote "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" while she
was visiting Washington D. C. during the Civil War. |
