Civil+War+Task+3


 * Newspaper Project****


 * 1) The entire class will work together and divide the work evenly.
 * 2) You will work together to collaborate information; however you both must write your own articles. You all will need to visit and explore the web sites I have provided. Each of you will collect background information about the United States Civil War. You will need to keep notes on your own graphic organizer. You can print off a copy of the graphic organizer here: [|graphic organizer.]
 * 3)  Visit all Resource web sites. Search for interesting facts, tips, and pieces of information that support your quest. Make sure to note the websites from which you borrowed data and facts. Your project must include a Bibliography, which lists the websites that you visited.
 * 4) Compare your findings with your team. Add any ideas you like to your notes.
 * 5) You will be creating your Newspaper using Microsoft Publisher.
 * 6) As a team will edit and layout the newspaper as a rough draft.
 * 7) Ms. Harris will be evaluating the accuracy of the content. I will evaluate how you have worked together as a group, how successful you were in following directions, newspaper layout and the creativity of the newspaper.
 * 8) Also, make sure to use this checklist:


 * Does my newspaper have a name and volume number?
 * Does my article have a name, date, and author, pictures?
 * Have I been creative? Have I used details such as descriptors?
 * Are the articles legible? Can the reader follow the story? Is it interesting?
 * Have I worked with my team to gather information and edit the newspaper?
