Our first assignment will deal with the Civil War. The class will be broken into two groups, with one half representing the north and the other representing the south. An expert on this war will visit the class to give a background on the war. Please prepare one question in advance to ask our speaker about the war. We will spend two days in the School Media Center collecting research on the era. The information collected must not all come from books. Other resources such as newspapers, videos, and the Internet must be incorporated. Once all of your information is collected we will discuss as a group what you have learned from this war and what steps could have been taken to avoid it. As a class we will put together a presentation about the war and lessons learned about what can be done to avoid such issues in the future.
Question for the presenter due: March 10th
Research notes due: March 15th
Presentation: we will complete as a class by March 30th
