Civil+War+Study

** Computer Lab December, 1-4 Presenting Dec. 4-5 ** We will be conducting research in small groups and finding out more detailed information on the following topics:
 * Civil War Study **
 * Weapons and Technology (New weapons, Guns and Artillery) **
 * Soldier and Camp Life **
 * African American Soldiers **
 * Abolitionist **
 * Civilian Life (Music, Books, Fashion, Art, Poetry) **
 * Military Strategy (Trenches, Forts, Infantry/Cavalry/Artillery organization, Formations, Foreign Aid/Trade) **
 * Medical Practices and Field Hospitals **
 * Military Prisons **
 * Spies and Espionage **
 * Military Leadership(Winfield Scott, George B. McClellan, Henry W. Halleck, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Braxton Bragg) **

Each group will be responsible for finding and reporting to the class about the information that they found on their topic. You will have 4 days in the computer lab to work on gathering and organizing your material. We will spend one day in class presenting the information that was found. Each group must present or points will be taken off from the total grade. Each student will grade their partners on their participation in the group to help make sure that all the work was done fairly.

I would like the information presented in PowerPoint so that we can easily view and follow along with the presentation. I will be requiring a **__20 slide minimum__** for this project. At least 10 slides must contain information about your topic. The remaining slides can contain either more information about your topic, or pictures showing examples of your topic. A final slide will need to be included that contains a detailed bibliography showing where you found the information and pictures that you used in your PowerPoint.


 * This will count as 2 classroom grades and a major project grade. **
