So, how are the kiddies? My mom took a look at my lesson plan for my Civil War Class tomorrow, and accused me of teaching a College-Level course to Junior Highers, and so now I am frantically rewriting it to something more simple and easy to understand... unfortunately, I had a nice powerpoint and set of handouts that went along with the lecture, and I've pretty much had to scrap that. Also, I never knew how difficult it was to reduce explainations to less than college level -- how am I supposed to talk about the 1860 Election and the Secesion of the States if people don't know what the Electoral College is or where half of the states are located? Yikes, I don't know if I can fit it all into 50 min D:
