More history ideas http://historytours.wikispaces.com/ Here is a blog post on using Google Earth for a Civil War Project [] Note: you need to download Google Earth [] to open the .kmz file with the lesson civil_war.kmz This tour highlights the major events of the American Civil War. Start at Fort Sumter and end at Appomattox.

__Idea for Implementation:__ Following the path of the Civil War while instructing on major battles provides excellent visual literacy. Students will see the initial push north and the response that led to the South's ultimate defeat. [|**http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjcCF6cIlPw&feature=channel**]
