Charley Goddard wants to be a
man. His best way to do it is to
join the First Minnesota Volunteers
to fight for the Union during the
Civil War. Charley soon finds out
that,"war is always, in all ways,
appalling." This web-based thematic unit
contains resources and activities
for both teachers and students. The Teacher
Resources section contains an
overview of the unit, in addition to
ideas for establishing the learning
environment, resources, and
technology setup. It also provides
classroom management strategies and
a series of lesson outlines with
standards and benchmarks, lesson
timing, book connections, and
assessment tools. The Student
Resources section contains links
to ten activities for children to
complete as they read the book.
