About: For Us the Living is a series of five interactive modules that encourage high school students to explore American history through the stories found in Alexandria National Cemetery. Established in 1862 as one of the nation’s first national cemeteries during the Civil War, Alexandria National Cemetery’s rich history invites students to explore connections to the Civil War, civil rights history, women’s history, the Lincoln assassination, and Reconstruction.
My Role: I created multimedia content to support the lesson modules; including a video designed to break down the roles that women have played in the military and thus their roles within the cemeteries.
The video, created as a secondary source for students to analyze within the structure of the module
The video is designed to get students to connect the information from prior sources with the new information they gathered.
All the videos and transcribed and captioned for accessibility purposes.
