In this section I have provided three professional resources connected to my unit Gettysburg.

The first example is from "Thinkfinity" and is designed for students in grades 4-12 depending on how you use it. The lesson "The Civil War" is a resource flash players that allows students to explore the Civil War. This sources requires the student to be on a computer and explore different people, weapons and battles of the Civil War. The lesson shows pictures of weapons, people and propoganda during the time of the Civil War. Students are able to learn about the Civil War in a "game" kind of way.

The second example is from civilwar.org. The site provides students with a glossary of Civil War terms, primary sources, Civil War maps and much more. Students could explore numerous aspects of not only the Battle of Gettysburg but the Civil War as a whole. I chose this resource because it not only provides students with many ways to explore the Civil War but teachers as well. It has sample lesson plans on there as well. []

The third source I used was is from History.com. The site provides videos, short sections of information and interactive activities on the Civil War. I chose this source because you can look up every aspect of the war from generals to battles. There is either a video or short section to read on almost every aspect of the Civil War. The videos range from pictures from the Civil War to historians explaining what went on according to their research. There is even an interactive activitie where students can explore the Civil War depending on what they are interested in. []
