Student+Audience


 * Student Audience**

First Group: This is the group that are learning the basic strategies used by both the Confederate and Union forces in the Civil War. This group will be 8th graders and will be attending the real Middle Shcool Willocreek. This is in my own town of Portage, a mid sized city, by Indiana legal standards. Not real big, but the one high school for the town has about 2000 students. The class size will be 24. They will have basic knowledge of history, they have to take a history class at this time, and have not specific interest in history or academics. They will be mostly of working class and middle class. They will be familiar with what has been taught in previous grades. To help them understand the subject more I will be comparing this confilict with modern wars, some with Iraq and Afganistand somehow, and compare these tactics to what they already learned about the Revolutionary War.

Second Group: This will be a high school class that can have anyone form a Sophmore to a Senior, but would be desinged for Juniors and Seniors. It will be at the real high shcol Portage High School. It is also in Portage Indiana, mid sized city, about 33 and a half thousand people. The class size will be 26. The students will have more advanced knowledge on history and inquiry process than the 8th graders. On top of already having classes they will be a higher academic standard with a greater interest in history since this class willnot be manditory to graduate. Though needed for a higher prestege degree. They will also be of a working class and middle class background. This will be more complex with me talking about the reasons for modern conflicts and hwo what happened for many years beforehand led to the conflict. This would be talking about how U.S relations with middle eastern countries and Isreal led to the complex problem that created the current conflicts.
