Fall 2010


=The North - Franklin, Pennsylvania=



=The South - Augusta County, VA=

On this space, the Civil War and Reconstruction class at Christchurch School will be exploring the lives of those impacted by the Civil War. Students will use the Valley of the Shadow website (http://valley.vcdh.virginia.edu/) to uncover and recreate the stories of two counties separated only by a man-made boundary. As the course progresses through the course of the war, students will recreate news stories as if they were living through the great event. These stories will be presented as a series of podcasts on various themes. Admittedly, the accounts will be fictional recreations of the events but we hope to bring an honest level of historical representation to our stories. Please find attached a more detailed description of the project and the theme on which the students will be reporting. We hope you enjoy our modest attempt at bringing history alive.
