This week we're looking back at some favorite #Muster posts, and today we're focusing on pedagogical discussions and ideas for classrooms--the perfect inspiration for a new semester!

Here @HilaryGreen77 offers spot-on advice about teaching Reconstruction

@HilaryGreen77 Here's another favorite on Reconstruction, with concrete advice on how to effectively incorporate women into discussions of this period, by Catherine Jones journalofthecivilwarera.org/2018/04/beyond…

Many of our pedagogy posts on #Muster are designed to work in conjunction with articles in the print journal; such is that case with John Sacher's advice about how to teach the "Twenty Negro Law" journalofthecivilwarera.org/2017/08/twenty…

It should read "such is the case" above. Darn Twitter and the inability to edit tweets!

Here's another pick from the #Muster archives--Brenda Stevenson outlines how to teach slavery through film, including a handy list of films on different topics (e.g. resistance, violence, etc.) journalofthecivilwarera.org/2018/10/utiliz…

Environmental history is an increasingly important field, and back in 2017, Erin Stewart Mauldin provided advice to #Muster readers about how to teach the environmental history of the Civil War

The last #Muster post we will highlight comes from Stacey Smith, who's now an associate editor. In 2017 she provided some overarching advice for "elevating the West to a place of importance alongside the North and the South." This one's a must read!

Thanks for following along today as we pulled some of our favorite pedagogical reflections from the #Muster archives. If you have an idea or strategy to share, please consider pitching us a post! We especially love to connect what's in our print journal to the classroom.
