December Lesson Plans 

 

We are posting five NEW lesson plans for December.  This time we are adding a lesson created for second-grade students which utilizes photographs of modes of transportation and a timeline.  It is never too early to use primary sources in the classroom!  The New South, Birmingham, and Alabama's contributions to the Civil War are all a part of the newest lesson plans. Check out the names of the authors to see if they work in your school or school system! 

 

**Remember, we are looking for your comments and suggestions about the lesson plans.  A Feedback button is located at the bottom of the lesson plan index for your convenience.
