This week we learned about the Election of 1860 and its causes. The essential question for this lesson was: "How were the results of the Election of 1860 representative of the deep divisions over slavery?" To answer this question, we first watched a Crash Course video. We took notes on topics the video discussed such as the Fugitive Slave Law, Bleeding Kansas, and the Dred Scott vs. Sanford Decision. We then recorded our first idea of the answer to the essential question. Afterwards, we went to a web page on the Civil War in Art. We saved the images from the left hand margin on the web page and wrote captions for them. The captions told the story of the Election of 1860 and the secession. We then found 3 more images to fill in the gaps of the story. Finally, we made an Educreations video narrating this story.
