Civil+War+Resources

=CIVIL WAR RESOURCES= = = =ART WEBSITE=

A fantastic new website was just launched here in Chicago to share resources related to art and the Civil War. It was created by seven of our local educational and cultural institutions. See the website at http://civilwarinart.org. A segment aired about it last night at @http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2012/04/12/civil-war-art-chicago.   =Newberry Digital Collections for Classroom Use= The Newberry Digital Collections for Classroom Use project provides educators with access to rich and engaging content from the Newberry's collections. In each collection, you will find a wide variety of materials like maps, songs, political cartoons, letters, and provocative texts paired with introductory essays and guiding questions. These materials can be used in your preparation for teaching in the classroom or directly with students as discussion or writing prompts.
