Class Activity

Because there is an enormous amount of information about Battle of Gettysburg, students may find it difficult understanding what happened each day of battle. Divide the class into three groups and assign them one day of battle to study. Afterwards, the students could present the information to their own classmates.

There are certain topics that can be covered:

• Terrain
• Weaponry
• Important Figures
• Strategy

Another confusing aspect about the Battle of Gettysburg is recognizing who’s who. It is difficult to understand the battle of Gettysburg without knowing who s a rebel, and who is a Federal. The class could also be divided into Confederate and Union.
