Title: coffee
Grade Level: Middle
Short Answer:
I think they make something from scratch and then make something that is instant and see the difference. Could cross curricular this with a family science class for sure. I think they can think about packing a bag for a trip and compare the two weights. I think you can then move this toward an economic lesson looking at how products have changed and made life faster and easier.

Title: Tire
Grade Level: Middle
Short Answer:
I would make them think of something that is scarce and then think about how to ration it. I would try to put them in the shoes and the time of WWII. Maybe giving them something small but they still had to use daily and come up with a plan on how to use it.
I think its also important for them to understand how rations worked and how everyone was united for the good of the country.

Title: Scarce items
Grade Level: Middle
Short Answer:
I think its important for students to know that not all materials we have available today were always available. I think we can look at most any item that we have and see the evololution of that item.
I think we could get several items and have sstudnets research the item, how it has improved but also how it has impacted life.

Title: Virginia Split
Grade Level: Middle
Short Answer:
I think analyzing the Civil War but focusing in on the split of Virginia into two separate states would be good. YOu can talk about boundaries and the need for change but also talk about Slavery and how it was different for the two sides based on the land. One side had large planations and the other had small farms so the land dictated the cultural differences

Grade Level: Middle

Soemtimes things have to line up on the front end and the back end to be successful. This is what was happening in the mid 19th centruy.

Short Answer:
I would come up with some simple everyday products that we often take for granted like shoes, maybe forks, spoons, and clothing and talk about the scarcity of the products in the Civil War and how it sloly improved.
We would also talk about how the sentiment changed from eager to war to not wanting a fraft and feeling the federal government was too controlling. We would or could use some primary sources such as local newspaper articles to look at how locals felt about the sitation.

Title: The Way of Life
Grade Level: Middle
Short Answer:
I think we would start by discussing and learning about the army, the differences between the two, how the British were professional soldiers and the Contienetal Army was everyday citizens. I think talking about camp life is important for students to paint a picture of what things were like. They tyoe of warfare is impotant for students to know. SOldiers had to know what the possibilies could be standing across from the enemy only 30 yards away taking turns firing at each other. Knowing Washingtons feelings on disciline and his thoughts on militia are important as well. Lastly, how the army was dispused at the end of the war. It was fast and efficient as soldiers turned back to citizens.
