5th Grade

Let’s go undercover! Get ready to go undercover as a Civil War spy. In this WebQuest you will take on the role of a spy for either the Confederacy or the Union. What was your personal life like? What methods of spying did you use? Were you able to find any secret information that helped your side in the war? You will find the answers to these questions and then share your sly spying techniques with the public!

Let’s go undercover! During this WebQuest you will work in teams of four. Each team member will take on the role of a spy for either the Confederacy or the Union. Each person will be responsible for going undercover to find out about the secret life of one spy. Once you and your team members have gathered your information, you will meet in a secret location to share what you have found. Your team will conclude by writing a Spying Handbook. Future spies will be able to go undercover at a moment’s notice…all with the help of your sly spying techniques.

 

Before you can write a Spying Handbook, you will need to investigate the secret life of a Confederate or a Union Civil War Spy.  

Your teacher will assign you to a group of four. Each group will include either four Confederate or four Union spies. Each person in your group should select a different spy from the Resources Page.  

  Once you have chosen a spy, use the links on the Resource Page to begin your investigation.  

  Record your findings on the template your teacher provides. Be sure to answer all the questions completely, with as many relevant details as possible.  

When your investigation is complete, proofread your answers and check for grammar and spelling errors. Then print two copies of your template. Put one copy in the envelope labeled with a secret spy code and give the other copy to your teacher.  

Bring your coded envelope and meet with your group in a secret location. (When your group is ready to meet, check with the teacher for your secret location.) Combine all your information in one template.

  Using the secret information, your group will create a Spying Handbook. Please be creative with your handbook design. You may include illustrations, secret codes, step-by-step instructions, or short paragraphs. Please check with your teacher if you have other ideas.

  Your handbook should follow this general format:   Front Cover: Creative title   Page 1: Describe the ideal family and personal life of a good Civil War spy   Page 2: Describe the best way to get into the business of spying   Page 3: Describe the information you found that was helpful for your side of a war   Page 4: Describe any errors you made that hurt your side of the war   Page 5: Give a rookie spy helpful sly spying tips - What to Do and What Not to Do!

The American Revolution Part 1

(The following project was from Royal Oaks Elementary Woodbury MN. South Washington County Schools)

You are about to begin a journey through time that you never would have taken if not for the diary, from one of your ancestors, that you found in your Grandparents’ attic. With the help of this webquest, you will be going back to the time of the birth of America. Many colonists were beginning to feel like Americans. They no longer felt like British citizens since they were establishing a new home and culture far from England. They also had new ideas about how they wanted to govern themselves. On the other hand, others were still very loyal to the king and Great Britain. They did not believe America should be separated from England. They were afraid of what might happen if they became an independent nation. The tension was running high on both sides. Now, you and your partner, will go back in time through the magic of this webquest, and will complete the pages of your ancestor’s diary and decide which side was right in their views. Enjoy the journey!!!     While cleaning the attic at your grandparents’ home, you find a very old diary. In that diary, one of your long dead ancestors describes his experiences before and during the Revolutionary War. He fought in that war and lived to tell about it! The first part of the diary tells about what happened before the war began. Just when the story gets really interesting, you find that the pages in the diary are too faded to read. Your task is to fill in the missing information. Your will record the information from your relative’s perspective – Loyalist or Patriot. Describe the events that might have been recorded on the faded diary pages. When you enter information in the diary, think about how your relative might have felt about what was happening. Loyalist: A colonist who remained loyal to Britain and opposed the Revolution. Patriot: An American colonist who supported the fight against Great Britain.     Was your relative a Loyalist or a Patriot? What were their beliefs and how did they support their cause? How many other colonists agreed with the beliefs of your ancestors and how many supported the opposing side? What thoughts and feelings might your ancestor have had during this time?   Before you can fill in the missing diary pages, you will need to investigate the events that led up to the war. Be sure to carefully consider the events from your ancestor’s perspective – either Patriot or Loyalist.    With your partner, decide which role to take. One of you will investigate from the Patriot perspective and the other from the Loyalist perspective. Once you have chosen your role, click on the Resource Page link below and begin your investigation.   To record your findings, open the diary template and enter the information under the correct event. Be sure to describe the event, including the date, place, and who was involved. Also, include how your ancestor might have thought and felt about the event.   When your findings are complete, print two copies of your diary – one for you and your partner and one for your teacher.   Meet with your partner to compare findings. Together, write a paragraph that highlights the similarities and differences between the two perspectives. This paragraph, along with your diary entries, will determine your grade on this project.     Use the links on the resource page to find the information you need to complete your diary entries.         Use the resources listed below to research six events that lead up to the American Revolutionary War. After you have have finished each event, use your diary to record facts about the event and your thoughts and feelings.   .           Start Here Start Here   Perspectives on Liberty Perspectives on Liberty       General Resources General Resources             1.

Was it right that the colonists refused to pay the taxes? Finally, was there any other solution to the problem besides going to war? You have all the information. It is time for you to decide. Discuss with your partner what you think. Be prepared to share your thoughts and discuss this with the class.     Evaluation of your work on this webquest will be based on the Pre-American Revolution Webquest Rubric.
