Assessment

After you attend the Northern Indiana Center for History’s Civil War Program, you
may want to find out how much your students have learned about the Civil War.
Here are some ideas for you to consider.
 At the end of your study of the Civil War, students should have the opportunity to
share their personal views of the topic. Listen for signs of growth and increased
knowledge.

• o Are students motivated to share what they have learned?
• o Have they applied critical thinking skills to the investigation of the topic
and the issues raised?
• Have students keep records of the topics they investigate and the theme-related
work they do.
• Have students keep a portfolio of the work they created during the study of the
Civil War. Consider putting these on display in your room or school.
