USCT 28th Division
Lesson Plan for Grade 8, Indiana Studies

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
Indiana may not have had slavery, but they certainly struggled with racial equality within the state and within in the armed forces. The USCT 28th Division is one of the first colored infantry of the war. Inside this lesson we are going to talk about How the war affected these men that served on the Homefront.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
Do students understand what the USCT 28th Colored Division is and why were they important?

Notes
USCT 28th Division youtube video
HOOK/BELL RINGER
I will get my students attention by asking them the first question that we have.
GUIDED PRACTICE
I will start the students by getting there books out and putting up the questions so the students understand what they should be taking notes over. When I feel that the students have been given enough time, I will check and see if the students need more time. Then I will lead an in-class discussion over what we took notes over. After our in-class discussion if time allows we are going to watch a YouTube video. At the end, we will do a simple thumbs up thumbs down assessment.
I do: I read, took notes and wrote discussion questions that will help students look for important terms when they take notes.
We do: We will both actively discuss the reading by answering the questions I wrote.
You do: They will answer the questions on there own and they will each evaluate what they have written down to see if it’s correct based on our discussion.
EVALUATION
At the end of our lesson, I will be using a simple hands up hands down check for understanding.
GOALS
At the end of our lesson, I hope students see that the USCT Colored troops were able to start paving the way to Civil Rights in both Indiana and in the USA.
