Tired of textbooks? Tired of trying to learn but losing focus when boredom takes over? Me too. As a first year teacher, my main concern in teaching the Civil War is keeping my students interested and engaged. After thinking long and hard about ways to maintain their interest, I came up with a wonderful solution. Let’s use literature! By using literature that is relevant to the Civil War, not only will I have the ability to better keep their attention, I will also be able to instill knowledge in them.
