This lesson contains:
- An introduction to the America Civil War. Students learn about the two sides and why they were fighting, then apply this to a consolidation gap fill which can be stuck in their books.
- A discussion of the railway project to connect East and West. There is a YouTube video and students write the reasons the railroad was built.
- A task to stick a map of the railroad into their books and annotate from the board the facts about each railroad company and the difficulties they faced on each side.
- An activity to determine the consequences of the railroad on the Indians, the farmers and settlers, and the U.S. economy. This is a worksheet that can be colour-coded and stuck in.
