7th and 8th Grade Language Arts and History block classes...
Background - students had learned the details of two battles of the Civil War, Gettysburg and Appomattox. They read and took notes on the primary accounts of Haskell and Chamberlin.
Student work - students created four pattern organizers to discern fact from opinion on the accounts. It starts with four circles on a page, one circle in each quarter of the paper. Two circles were labeled "Gettysburg" and two were labeled "Appomattox." Around one circle of Gettysburg and one circle of Appomattox, students webbed as many facts as they could find from the accounts. Around the other two circles, students webbed as many opinions as they could find.
