The Civil War

Should Texas Secede?   Can Texas  Secede Now?

Split your class in half and have an old-fashioned debate. Let both sides present arguments for and against secession. Use your iPad to film each class's debate. Then, take each of the videos, and post them into a Google Classroom question. Ask each student to watch the other class's debate and explain who they felt won the debate and what their favorite argument was. Remember, students won't be able to see each other's responses until them first answer the question themselves.

What If Slavery Was Abolished In The South?

Have students think critically by using this graphic organizer. Students have to conjure up and then analyze the effects of ending slavery on the Texas way of life during the antebellum era. Students can open this in Explain Everything.

Union Strategy

Picture
Use this image of the Anaconda Plan in ThingLink to cover Union strategy during the Civil War. This image may work better than Scott's Great Snake because it includes the whole state of Texas. Ask how the Union's plan isolates Texas. Students can use this same image to analyze and infer what they know about the victory at Galveston.
