Civil+War+Project

** Civil War Project ** This project is open for a wide range of styles and topics. You can write a paper, do an elaborate poster for my wall, make a video/play, create a PowerPoint presentation, create a comic book, make a battle field model, or any other idea you might come up with (and that is approved by me). If you decide to do a project on a specific person, I would like for you to pick one of the following men:
 * Due 12/5/14**

**//__Confederates__//** J.E.B. Stuart James Longstreet Robert E. Lee Thomas J. “Stonewall”Jackson A.P. Hill Jefferson Davis **//__Union__//** Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Ulysses S. Grant George Meade Ambrose Burnside Philip Sheridan Abraham Lincoln
 * Please let me know in advance what you are planning to work on so that I can approve it.**


 * We will __not__ be working on this project in class**. All work will have to be done at home. If you are going to be working on a PowerPoint, make sure that you bring the presentation on a clearly labeled disk or flash drive with your name on it.

This project is being giving in the place of a formal written test. The grade will be counting as test grade and a project grade. I expect papers to be at least 2 typed pages, double-spaced, and no bigger font than size 12. Please use either Times New Roman font or Arial. PowerPoint presentations need to be at least 15 slides. Both PowerPoint and papers need to include a bibliography that shows the resources that you used in order to find your information. Battlefield models need to be scale models that recreate the main features of the specific battlefield that you choose. Battlefield models require a short summary that details who was present at the battle and which side won. Posters should be at least the size of a display board. Posters should be on a specific topic and contain as much information in an easy to read format as possible. All other projects need to be discussed with me about how they will be graded. If you have any questions please fill free to email me so that I can answer your questions.
