Teaching a unit on the Civil War for high school students can be difficult. Other than black and white photographs and textbooks, there is no way to bring the experience of a country divided alive for students. With this Civil War Simulation, however, you can get them caught up in the conflict. Easy to set up, this lesson plan can be customized to any size classrooms. Students will become caught up as they face the same questions that politicians of the time faced. They’ll represent specific states and in the process work in small groups with other states from their side of the conflict. In this Civil War Lesson Plan, students begin by learning about the presidential election of 1860. Guided by their objectives, students engage in strategy, and problem solving. The “magic” behind this activity is that students become emotionally involved with their states and competitive about achieving their objectives. This Civil War Simulation Game is a collection of Microsoft Word and Excel documents. The documents are organized in binders or in a computer lab/1:1 set-up electronically for students and used in combination with the Civil War Map on your projector to bring this Civil War Unit to life in your classroom! Mr. Harms produces interactive history lesson plans for high school and middle school students. Developed and honed over 2 decades of use, the Civil War Simulation is used by classrooms throughout North America.
