This site gives first hand accounts of the events of the battle of Gettysburg. There are accounts made by **Major General D. McM. Gregg** on the Union Calvary and their role in the Army of the Potomac. @http://www.civilwarhome.com/gettysbu.htm

This is a site that gives many different political cartoons on the Civil War. Before completing a project on the battle at Gettysburg the students should show understanding of some of the causes/conflicts leading up to the war. Another nice things about this site is that it has cartoons for the different stages of the war as well. From before the war to during the war to the aftermath of the war. @http://xroads.virginia.edu/~cap/scartoons/cartoons.html

This site gives articles and summaries of accounts of the events at the battle at Gettysburg. Most accounts coming directly from a person invovled in the battle itself. Great site for more background information on the battle at Gettysburg. @http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/gettysburg/

This site gives information on the breakdown of casualties in the battle at Gettysburg. This will be useful in showing the students just how catastrophic the loss totals were for this battle. This will also help the better understand the magnitude of the battle itself and what makes it so meaningful and memorable. []


 * __Posters/Pictures__**

This is a poster of the battle of gettysburg. I would have my students analyze this poster to see what type of meaning the artists is trying to portray about the battle. I think this poster would challenge the students to think more about the reasoning behind the war. @http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/history/marshall/military/civil_war_usa/pictures/angle.gif

This is a poster of the battle at Gettysburg. It gives a colorful display of where troops were camped and also were battles took place. This is a great source for better understanding the strategic plans made by the Generals of the armies in this battle. []

This poster is of a soldier who is wearing half of a confederate uniform and half of a union uniform. The picture also shows a timeline of the events on the bottom. This would be a good poster for students because it would allow them to see the differences in the two sides uniforms. They would analyze what makes the uniforms similar but also what sets them apart form the other. @http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site515/2008/0627/20080627_033231_gettysburgtojoan_300.jpg

This is a picture taken in recent years from Gettysburg of two 12 pound bronze guns. This photo would help intro a discussion on the differences in weapons during battles 150 years ago. This picture also shows a good picture of part of the layout of Gettysburg and how open it is. This could lead to discussion on how battles were fought in open areas back in those times. []

This is a picture of a field where many battle casualties have occured. This picture gives a good lead-in to the high casualty totals in this battle. @http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Battle_of_Gettysburg.jpg/450px-Battle_of_Gettysburg.jpg


 * __Sheet Music/Sound Recordings__**

This is a piece of sheet music from the civil war. This would be a good source for better understanding the mindset of those supporting the North. It could be used to support the claim that supporters of the North expected to win the war. @http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/songsheets.bsvg100223/pg.1/

This is a piece of sheet music from the site pdmusic. This site gives a lot of different pieces of sheet music from many aspects of the civil war. This particular piece is a song about a woman missing her loved one who is fighting in the war. This gives a good understanding of the midset some had while they saw their loved ones go off and fight. @http://www.pdmusic.org/civilwar/cws25.txt

This source is seperate recordings of the Gettysburg Address done by 6 different men. The benefit to this source is that it allows the students to listen to the recording and generate there own opinion on how they feel the address was given (tone, enthusiasm, etc.). For this project, the student could select one of the recordings that they feel best emulates the manner in which Abraham Lincoln gave the speech. The recording could be played during the presentation of the project. @http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/gettysburgaddress.htm

This is a site found in the Library of Congress for sheet music during the Civil War and specifically the Battle of Gettysburg. This source would be a good place to look for the specific piece of sheet music that the student would want to pick for their final project. @http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/search?view=thumbnail&query=gettysburg&submit=GO&sort=titlesort&hiddenquery=%2BmemberOf%3AcivilWar&view=thumbnail

Another site giving more sheet music from the civil war. This site could also be used to broaden the students understanding of the mindset of those affected by the war. This could also be used in order to find a piece of sheet music that best exemplifies the certain aspect of the war that the students chooses to focus on. @http://www.nps.gov/archive/pete/mahan/teachingtoolssongs.html
