==Learning Activity 3-D-2: Local Documents, Data, and Cartoons==


 * **General Lee’s Map of the Battle of Gettysburg**[|-http://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/todays-doc/index.html?dod-date=703]

Students could use this map to see what General Lee's plan of action was to cross Gettysburg.

[]
 * **Document---Gettysburg Address Document---Interactive**

This is an interactive website that allows the students to listen and focus on specific text of the Gettysburg Address. I could have this be used in a computer center.

[]
 * **Data—Casualties from the Battle**

This is official data from the battle. It is separated into days, the sides of the battle, etc. This could be integrated into math class. Students could do averages, medians, modes, max, min, etc.

[]
 * **Document---Pickett’s Charge**

The document accounts for Pickett's Charge. It details this most-discussed battle in the 3-day Battle of Gettysburg. Students could analyze this document using graphic organizers.

[]
 * **Document---Magazine Article (A Summation of the Battle of Gettysburg)**

This is a magazine article from 1913 about the Battle of Gettysburg. It gives a brief overview of the battle. This could be used as an introduction to a lesson.

[]
 * **Document---Personal story of war**

This is a personal account from the way. Some one's great-great grandfather's friend discussed his view of the battle.

Learning Activity 4-D-1: Local Photos and Posters
[]
 * **Picture: Possible Pickett's Charge**

I could use this along with the document above that based upon Pickett's Charge. Would be a great correlation and connection.

[]
 * **Picture: Pickett's Charge scene today.**

Again, I could use this to make a connection with the above photo and the document of Pickett's Charge. Address: [] Abe Lincoln: []
 * **Picture: Gettsyburg Address and Abe Lincoln**

These photos can be shown together. One is an image of Lincoln giving his speech and one is an authentic picture of Lincoln.

[]
 * **Poster: Gettysburg**

This poster was designed to commerate the 150th anniversary. It has a lot of great things included on it, generals, the war, the town, etc. This poster gives a great summary of Gettysburg.

[]
 * **Poster/Picture: Includes the Battle, descriptions, and the two opposing generals.**

This would be helpful to use because it has pictures of the opposing generals with their flags and a picture of the battle. It also has text describing the war.

==Learning Activity 5-D-1: Local Audio and Music==

[] I could be in touch with the Music teacher and have the students listen to this song.
 * **Sheet Music: Pickett's Charge March**

[] I could use this when discussing Lincoln's address. This would be another supplement to use in class.
 * Sheet Music: Abe Lincoln "Old Abe has gone and did it"

[] The SEA could be used to evaluate this sheet music concerning the soldiers of the war.
 * **Sheet Music: Soldiers "Tenting to the Night"**

[] These audio recordings are of all songs from the time period of the Civil War. Students could listen and compare and contrast the songs from that time period and now.
 * **Audio Recordings: Music of the American Civil War**

[] Songs on this website are categorized by union songs, confederate songs, and songs soliders sang. Students could listen and compare and contrast the songs. Students could become the confederate side, union side, and soliders and sing the songs.
 * **Audio Recordings: Civil War Music**

==Learning Activity 6-D-1: Local Video and Maps==

[]
 * **Video: Rebel Yell**
 * 1) This video is of civil war confederate veterans who enact the "Rebel Yell".
 * 2) I could use this video in my lesson to show the opposing side of the fight. This was a famous yell of the confederates. The students will read about this. Hearing and seeing it from confederate veterans will be a great experience.

[]
 * **Map: 3-Day Battle of Gettysburg**
 * 1) This map offers a 3-day view of the battle. It labels where troops were on all days and gives a notes section of when and for how long the battles occurred.
 * 2) This map could be analyzed using the NARA and in comparison with the picture of General Lee's map above.

[]
 * **Video: Battle of Gettysburg Reenactment**
 * 1) This video is of the reenactment that is performed every year in Gettysburg of the Battle of Gettysburg.
 * 2) Students could watch this to get a visual of how the war really happened, how they fought, how they lived, etc. They could do a movie analysis and look for similarities and differences. This could be a culminating activity.

[]
 * **Video: Civil War Veterens**
 * 1) This video brings to life civil war soldiers. Even thought there isn't any speaking, just seeing the soldiers would bring the civil war alive to the students.
 * 2) They could keep tally of the kinds of soldiers they are seeing, the types of medals they are wearing, and their actions in the video. They could use this information to develop inferences about the thoughts of the war.

[]_
 * **Video: Solider Apparel**
 * 1) This video is of a man modeling actual civil war apparel of soldiers. He describes the clothing and gear giving the students insight to why they wore the clothing they did and what the gear was for.
 * 2) I could have students draw pictures of soldiers after the video using the gear and clothing described, or I could provide them with a picture of civil war soldier and they could outline the soliders clothing and gear and state why each piece is a part of the soldier.

[]
 * **Video: Abe Lincoln**
 * 1) Even though this video is not actually Lincoln is read by someone who looks very much like him and is speaking from things that Lincoln did say. It shows authentic pictures and paintings from the civil war time and the Battle of Gettysburg. This could be used to give students a visual and auditory representation of Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address.
 * 2) I could use this along with the interactive Gettysburg Address document listed above. Student could listen to this and then review the document. This offers reinforcement to the actual document.
