Life in the North Pictograph
Students today are demonstrating their understanding of life in the North by creating a pictograph. The factual information students draw into their pictograph will prove that they understand the uniqueness of the North before the Civil War. When students are assessed in this way they show their "Big Picture" knowledge of a topic and that will in turn help them remember history in a powerful and meaningful way. Students will complete a pictograph about life in the South after we've studied that subject and will write about the similarities and differences in both pictographs.
