Union or Confederate- What Side Are You?


A few weeks ago, students drew from a bucket a position in which they would be fighting. They could have been a Union or Confederate soldier battling it out in the great Civil War. Today, depending on their position, students were asked to research information of why they were fighting for their cause. Besides researching information, students were also asked to find and print out pictures of soldiers or objects pertaining to their side. After completing both tasks, students created a brochure to try and persuade towns' people to join and fight for their cause. The brochures will be arriving home at the end of the week. Take a look at these persuasive brochures which included pictures from Flickr or Picassa. Underneath each picture, you will read some facts about when and where it was taken and what the picture illustrated! Once again, the class did a terrific job! Parents should be really proud!
