7th Grade U.S. History Research (by date, oldest first)

This unit connects learning with technology to Social Studies. This is perfect for technology class or for use in a Social Studies or History classroom that wants to incorporate technology with a lesson. No download is required to use either Adobe Express (www.adobe.com/express) or Canva (www.canva.com) - both free products, making it easy for teachers who are not able to download software on classroom computers to still give their students a choice in learning. Alternatively, this lesson can be completed using MS Word/PowerPoint or Google Docs/Slides if the teacher prefers.

To begin the lesson, students complete a webquest to learn about the Civil War. Student handouts in both print and digital formats are included, along with an answer key for easy grading. Additionally, a wordsearch puzzle with answer key is included, perfect for early finishers or to include with the lesson.

Next, students are provided with a quick tutorial for both Canva and Adobe Express, as well as links to other resources to help them with their project. The tutorials are intended to help students get started with the program and then use the resources within the program to refine their creations. Students create a timeline about the history of the civil war after conducting research. They use that information along with graphics, pictures and backgrounds from the Internet and also supplied in Adobe Express or Canva to create a finished presentation that explains the timeline of events during the Civil War and add their own opinions and insights to the project.

This is an excellent creative project to add to a unit on the Civil War or other social studies lessons on the growth and development of the United States. The project was created for grades 6-8 but could easily be used with upper elementary or high school students.

Firstly, there are six reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, about:

• Outbreak of American Civil War
• American Civil War – A Brief Overview
• Emancipation Proclamation
• Battle of Gettysburg
• End of American Civil War & Lincoln Assassination
• Abraham Lincoln

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity, crossword puzzle and wordsearch for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document.

Then, there are two biography writing units about Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee, an informational writing unit about the Civil War, and an opinion writing unit discussing who was the most influential general. The units have been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Good luck, I hope you find the resource useful!
