Civil War Project Students were asked to select a topic within the time frame of the Civil War. The topic, centered around civilian life during the war, explains what life was like during the period and the struggles, in both North and South, they endured through the course of the war. Students could focus on any personal aspect from men to women, slaves, or even the life of children and immigrants in the North or South. Students were asked to create a wiki page that contained the following...
 * title
 * at least 4 pictures centered with a caption
 * a minimum of 15 sentences
 * embed a YouTube video that visually illustrates the time period (but not necessarily the specific topic) (less than 5 minutes in length).
 * 2 minute speech followed by a walk through of the page.

The project culminates with a brief presentation (2minutes) and explanation by the students in class and a walk through of the page and how it was created. This project will be graded as a test worth 40 points.
