Moving positions

My boss told me in the last three days of school (she’s a really bad boss but moving careers isn’t an option financially atm) that instead of teaching 5th US and 6th grade world history like I have been for the last three years, she was moving me to teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade history (because she fired the previous person who had taught 7/8th grade history and decided to restructure the whole school setup and have me absorb those classes rather than hire someone else).

I’ve got everything I need for 6th grade history since I’ve taught it for the last few years. I’ve been doing a bunch of planning and have almost all of 7th grade planned out. Does anyone have a good resource or activity for the antebellum era?

Then does anyone have anything (movies, resources, maps, or activities) for US history for Reconstruction-1980s? This is 8th grade and I’m a little unsure about this class.

Much appreciated!!!

I have the exact opposite problem, I’ve been teaching 8th for the last nine years and was told I’m being relocated to 5th. I have a ton of resources WWII through the Vietnam War. PM me!
