Civil War Research Project Idea

Updated: by Leave a Comment

This is a Civil War Project research idea. In this project, the teacher can take advantage of the internet to allow students to work on their projects, if desired, totally in the cloud. All the teacher will have to do is to create a copy of this file. If you want to know how to make a copy of a Google Document, go to this link here. After the teacher makes a copy, the teacher can duplicate the file as necessary, or show the students how to make copies. The students will then edit their individual, or group, files to complete this project. They will then research the various leader of the Civil War to complete the project. If you have a learning management system, the students may then embed the files to share their work in a private place.
