Civil War Unit
Add your name here and add some pictures to the slide
This is your project to work on for the next couple of weeks. There may be times you will need to work on it for writing or reading as well as our Social Studies time. Feel free to change the pages to personalize them, but keep your main focus on the text and expectations before you try to make it look pretty. There are a few pictures already in the slides, please leave these pictures alone. You may add pictures to the other slides once you’ve finished your research and have written the text. This is a team project, but there will be a test at the end of the unit, so work hard and do the research yourself! Work together and ask questions when you need to. You may delete this page when you are finished with your project.
