Civil War Plays

Studying The beginnings of the Civil War, students had to write their OWN skit scripts, including specific names and events. Students shared these in front of the class, making the rawness and anxiety of the era come to life. Student Matteo Papacostas gave one of his characters a family member away at war, and had him try to convey to an indifferent character how much the war affected him personally. This unit helped students connect with each other as Americans, and with Americans long gone.
