Civil War Photo Assignment

Choose five to seven pictures from the battle or section that your group has chosen. If you want to combine two related sections (like engineering and railroads) you may. Each person on the team should choose at least one picture and will be responsible for explaining why they chose the picture on Friday to the class. The group should begin with a summary of the battle that has been assigned to their group and a brief explanation of why the battle was significant. The pictures should be displayed in the form of a PPT presentation and emailed to me at: kditzenberger@ics.edu.sg . At least two pictures should be used to ask questions and develop a brief discussion among your classmates.

You can choose which site you would like to use. The first site has pictures from some battles you have looked at.
http://valley.vcdh.virginia.edu/Images/search_images.html -Antietam, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg. The second site has sections that include: Lincoln’s assassination, guns, navies, engineering, photographers, medical, communications and intelligence, and more!-http://www.archives.gov/research/civil-war/photos/

You will be graded on the quality of the layout of your presentation (10 points), team member participation (3 points), and the explanation of the slides, including leading a brief discussion (7 points). The presentations will be given on Friday.
