Students will view 3D photographs from the Civil War and use them as a primary source to help understand the Civil War.   Students will learn to use inferencing to help draw conclusions about the settings, people, and events that are shown in the photographs.

This sequence of lessons is based on text-dependent questions that are answered through a close reading of the article, "Girl Power" from the Washington Post's Kids' Post.

This lesson requires student to evaluate various types of texts including video, visuals, etc. and to communicate their learning in multiple ways (discussions and writing).  Large emphasis on utlizing mutliple reading strategies.
