Unit 2-The Civil War

Today;s Agenda:

Research: We are in the library today and tomorrow. Reminder, you need to find 3 sources and fill out the source sheets that we handed out yesterday.

  • Use our databases! Check out the libguide created by Ms. Hopkins
  • What responsibility you have within the project will determine what you search for...
    • Speeches should research the men themselves, what their opinions were, events that were happening at the time of secession/surrender...
    • Maps & Battles should research geographical advantages, life of soldiers during the time, primary accounts of battles...
    • Editorials should research actual newspapers from the time as well as lives of individuals and how they felt about events of the time
    • Personal Letters should research various events/trends that affected people (like battles, riots, laws, elections, food shortages, blockades, family crises, etc.), as well as actual letters from the time period
  • It is required you have at least three sources (books, databases) with a filled out Research Source Organizer for each source
  • You may notice there is a new tab at the header. This is our "Resources" tab that we will periodically be throwing helpful tools, websites, articles, and materials for general classroom/studying use.
