Over the next couple weeks, you will be completing a Civil War project using information learned and researched throughout the Civil War Unit. Your grade will be determined based on completion, effort, detailed content, and creativity.
You will need to choose enough of the projects above to get you 25 points for your grade. The higher the points, the more challenging the activity. You may be as creative as you like making sure you complete at least the minimum guidelines per activity, which can be found on my website (laceyushistory.weebly.com). These activities are to be completed on your own time with your own supplies. If complications arise, please discuss with me at the appropriate time.
Everything must be turned in by March 22, 2017. Projects may be turned in early for additional points. Late projects will receive a point deduction. All projects must have your name and class period on them and be school appropriate. Feel free to turn certain projects in digitally using my email address ([email protected]) or contacting me through my website.
