<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will understand that technology changed the course of the Civil War. Students will understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in the history of Maine, the United States, and various regions of the world. It is important to learn this because it is crucial to understanding the outcome of the Civil War. Students will watch video clips detailing different pieces of Civil War technology.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will know… Key factual information: use of telegraphs, use of photography, Union vs. Confederate weaponry, "ironclad" vessels. (See content notes.) Students will self-assess their work using a teacher-provided rubric and peers will assess their work through the use of checklists. I will provide the students with any materials they might need for the project, including use of computers and the library. I will periodically check in with students to see if they are having trouble or need some clarification as to how to complete their project. The students will also have the chance to respond to the project in a free write. The students will be able to judge each other’s progress using checklists at certain stages of the project to make sure they are on track for completion.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be able to…use a sequence chart to determine how they are going to organize chronological information on their Glogster. Students will create a product using Glogster to prove their understanding of Civil War technology. This product will have been judged on its progress by both myself and the other students. I will have used a rubric to track the progress of the project as it was being completed. I will use the same rubric for the final grade of the project. The students will use this same rubric to judge themselves on how they think they did on the project and presentation. Students will allow their classmates to view their Glogsters after they post the URLs onto the class wiki. Once they are uploaded, the students will evaluate the products using the same checklists they used to evaluate the projects as they were being made to determine the progress made from the project to the final product. I will evaluate the products using the same rubric used by the students to evaluate themselves on their product.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will know….. Key factual information.
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Content Notes __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Use of telegraphs: Before the Civil War, battlefield communication was limited to how fast a messenger could travel on horseback. Samuel Morse’s invention of the telegraph revolutionized not just battlefield communication, but communication in general. By using the telegraph, messages could be sent instantly through the thousands of miles of telegraph line stretching across the country by the beginning of the war.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Use of photography: For the first time, accurate depictions of battlefield conditions were available to the public. The use of photography by journalists would signify the beginning of the field of photojournalism. Though a tedious process, photography was by far the most accurate portrayal of battlefield conditions until the use of film in World War I. In its earliest forms, photography relied on the use of special chemically treated metal plates exposed to light over a certain period of time.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Union vs. Confederate weaponry: Though the Union and Confederate armies were armed with what appeared to be similar weapons, they had remarkably different effects. The Confederate troops were armed with older smoothbore muskets firing a round, led ball. Some of these muskets still relied on the obsolete flintlock firing mechanism. Union troops on the other hand were armed with superior Springfield rifled muskets firing a cone-shaped projectile known as a Minié ball. These used a much more reliable percussion cap firing mechanism and were far more accurate than their Confederate counterparts. Another firearm that would revolutionize the battlefield for both sides was the invention of the revolver. In 1836, Samuel Colt patented the first practical revolving firearm, giving the user multiple shots before having to reload. By the time the Civil War began, Colt and other manufacturers had improved on the original design, making revolvers more powerful, practical and accurate. The Union army had the distinct advantage of making revolvers that were more durable due to higher quantities of steel. The South, which suffered from a steel shortage, often used much weaker brass as a substitute in many of its revolver and rifle parts.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">"Ironclad" vessels: Both sides in the Civil War began building metal-hulled ships known originally as “ironclad” vessels. These quickly made their older wooden ships obsolete. One of the first ironclad vessels built by the Confederacy was actually built upon a scuttled U.S. vessel. Originally the U.S.S. Merrimack, it was destroyed at dock within days of the war beginning. The Confederate Navy then raised the wreckage and converted it into the Confederacy’s first ironclad ship, dubbed the C.S.S. Virginia. Around the same time, the U.S. completed building an ironclad that was not only an ironclad, but also one of the first ships to use a rotating gun turret. This ship, known as the U.S.S. Monitor, would make history when it fought the C.S.S. Virginia at the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862. It was the first battle ever fought between two ironclad vessels. It ended in a draw, as neither ship could significantly damage the other. The Monitor’s extremely low profile in the water made it very difficult for the Virginia to hit, and the Virginia’s slanted metal armor made it so the Monitor’s cannonballs simply bounced off.
