Teaching American History

JANUARY 5, 2024

While studying the Civil War, we put students in the role of travel agents and asked them to design tours of historical sites related to the war. Then we staged a “Travel-Con” expo in which each team prepared an exhibit showing the tour stops, what travelers would experience, and why these sites were important.
