The War between the States. The War of Rebellion. The War of Northern Aggression. Freedom War.
These are the different names that have been coined to the American Civil War. Our 8th grade will be beginning their 4th Quarter project this week over this fascinating and monumental time in US History! This final project over the Civil War will consist of each 8th grader writing a paper and creating an oral presentation with a powerpoint over his/her Civil War battle. Students have been assigned their battles and should be thinking about their projects. Students need to spend time this weekend researching for books, periodicals, and interviews in order to build their knowledge. Creative pieces (re-enactments via movie, song, video games, little army figurines, paintings, poems, collages, etc) are highly encouraged! This is a great opportunity for the 8th grade to show off their talents, wit, and intelligence as they get ready to enter high school!
