Music of the Civil War

CLOSE UP

My 8th graders were studying the civil war iu their classroom about the same time as a unit on music of the civil war in my class.  This bulletin board was created to go along with that.  I printed out several pictures of civil war soldiers on both sides.  I printed out many from Missouri (our state) for added interest.  I included quotes about the music of the war, lyrics to some of the more popular songs on the day and titles of others.  The CLOSE UPwill help explain this.  All of this information was found online.  I printed and laminated all of it.  It is sort of arranged with one side confederate stuff and the other union stuff.  The border was created by students and is just facts about the war written in black on plain white copy paper.
