Abstract
Describes an interdisciplinary unit that brought the Civil War to life for 11th-grade students in a team-taught unit that highlighted student-driven response to reading. Describes use of a 19th-century essay supporting slavery, Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle,” “Huckleberry Finn,” Civil War poetry and other writings, and student projects based on the autobiography of Frederick Douglass.
