CW Research/Presentation 4/20 - 24

Monday in class a packet was passed out for this week and the one following trip week for Civil War mini-research topics.
The first week we will be creating PowerPoints to share with each other about one of two topics: battles or historic figures and the significance of these to the Civil War and how they may be meaningful to the U.S. currently and in the future.

The body of the PowerPoint should contain slides of illustrations, art, cartoons, photos with clear interesting captions, and an introductory and conclusion paragraph should either be included in a slide each or read aloud before and after the presentation.

These must be given in class Friday, 4/24! There is very little makeup time now with the trips and end of the year approaching.

The week following trips we will be doing a parallel type mini-unit on one of two topics: inventions of the Civil War or citizen points of view, e.g. women in the War, African American soldier, and much more.

Again, this week class time will be given for locating illustrations and research but instead of PowerPoint we will be creating a program in Inspiration to share and teach.
