Women in the Civil War
Evaluation Questionnaire

We have just completed an interdisciplinary unit on women in the Civil War.  As part of this unit you read a novel, took part in literature circles activities, explored primary source documents, and researched a woman or group of women that was important to the Civil War effort.  The following questions are designed to improve the quality of this project.  The responses to these questions will be used to make this unit meaningful and enjoyable to students.  Please answer these questions constructively and honestly. 

 1.  Compared to other historical fiction novels you have read, how did you enjoy reading your novel on women during the Civil War era?  (Circle one number on the scale below.)
