St. Valentine's Day Massacre Bundle

• Slideshow - Lesson Plan - Worksheet - 1 class period

• A perfect Valentine's Day Lesson for any secondary social studies teacher!

• The slideshow seems to be very lovey dovey, but really this is a lesson on the St. Valentine's Day Massacre that took place in 1929 - this should be taught on Valentine's Day, or it could be a part of the Roaring 20's Unit.

• This lesson has it all. A hook, a story, a worksheet, and a discussion. The hook is a local story to the creator of this lesson, which is about an unsolved murder case in the city of Kingston, NY.

• The educator will then tell the story of the massacre, most points of talking can be found in the lesson plan and on the slideshow - but if you would like to brush up on your history - the History.com version of the story is linked in this plan.

• Throughout the story you should be asking your students questions - keep asking them 'why' and other such things

• Finally, there are discussion questions to wrap up the day.

This is meant for 8th grade - but could be adapted to any secondary grade.
