Google Maps


View Top 10 Deadliest Battles of the US Civil War in a larger map


After showing my students how to use Google Maps, I would show them the map I created on the Top 10 Deadliest Battles of the US Civil War.  Then I would encourage them to choose 10 battles of their own choice during the Civil War to research.  We could brainstorm ideas like Confederate battles won, battles by the state, battles by year, etc.  By giving them a choice they will take more initiative and ownership in their project.  They would be required to do the following: 

- Include 10 Battles
- Where the battle occured
- Casualties
- Date
- Winner
- Image
