What teachers say about this US Civil War Reconstruction gallery walk:
This covered lots of information about Reconstruction. I don't typically spend more than a day or two on it so it was perfect.
Really helped my students understand Reconstruction and the challenges facing the US post-Civil War. Would also work well as a sub assignment.
I used this activity for a Reconstruction unit review and the kids loved it. It helped with passing the assessment.
I love a gallery walk. The kids gather so much information.
My students absolutely love gallery walks! So glad I was able to find one on the Reconstruction period. :)
