The Civil War Experience

Culminating Assessment:

Students will be assigned various aspects of the Civil War such as “Key Leaders”, “Important Documents”, “Major Battles”, “Soldier’s Life”, “Civilian Life”, “The End of the War”, and each will have to contribute to the chronology of the war. Small groups will have to coordinate their pieces to create a museum exhibit. This activity will enhance the content they already have from the class activities. As this is a project, students will complete a rough draft of their assignment, have it critiqued by the teacher, meet with their display group to determine how to incorporate their ideas, and then complete the final piece at home. Upon the due date, groups will assemble their exhibits in class and present on the following day. Some of the materials for constructing the exhibits will be supplied by the teacher.
