<p>Academic U.S. & Virginia History Name: ______Mr. Briscoe/Mr. Null Second Quarter</p><p>CIVIL WAR EXHIBIT: GUIDELINES AND GRADING</p><p>April 2011 marked the 150th anniversary of the start of the U.S. Civil War, which transformed American society and gave our nation, in Abraham Lincoln’s words, “a new birth of freedom.” To commemorate the Civil War and to learn about it in more depth, we will have an opportunity to study various aspects of the conflict and the people and events that shaped it. The second quarter exhibit also will also focus on the use of primary sources to help enhance our understanding of the war ad its relevance to today.</p><p>Objective Students will research and write on a topic related to the U.S. Civil War, including the use of primary source documents that help enhance understanding of the topic. Due by Wednesday, December 18.</p><p>Process 1. Topic Selection: Students will be able to sign up for an individual topic at the start of class on Friday, November 15. Proposed topics are included on the reverse side.</p><p>2. Research: Our class on Friday, November 15 will focus on research for the exhibit. Students will need to also devote time outside of class to continue and complete the research. The Media Center will be working with us to identify primary and secondary sources that will be helpful.</p><p>3. Write Summary Paper: Each student will be expected to type a two-page, double-spaced summary paper that provides essential background on their chosen topic, as well as analysis of the topic’s significance to the war. The summary paper should include a clear title and the student’s name and class period. Summary papers must be a full two pages of material and include MLA style citations. Our class on Monday, December 16 will be dedicated to computer lab time to give you an opportunity to complete research and/or draft the paper.</p><p>4. Create Artifacts Paper: Each student will also be expected to feature three “artifacts” that relate to their chosen topic. Artifacts must include at least one text-based primary source document (such as a letter, speech text, military order, etc.), one visual primary source document (such as a period photograph, map, chart, cartoon, etc.), and one other text-based or visual source (either primary or secondary) that helps to enhance understanding of the topic. Each artifact requires a clear caption of at least 20-30 words that explains the source in detail and how it relates to the topic overall. Captions should be student-drafted. Text-based artifacts may be excerpts from letters and speeches – you do not need to include the entire document unless it is easy and useful to do so. Include the title and citation information in each caption.</p><p>5. Create Works Cited Page: Each student will need to prepare a “works cited” page of at least five sources used in preparing the documents described above. Your textbook is a good place to start for secondary sources. The works cited page needs to be drafted in MLA format. </p><p>6. Presentation: Students can either create a poster or a Power Point presentation that incorporates the summary and artifact papers. Papers and presentations are due by Wednesday, December 18 in hard copy for full credit. Power Point presentations need to be saved to a CD or flash drive that can be played in one of the Media Center’s laptops. The presentations will be displayed in our Civil War exhibition in the Media Center on Friday, December 20. Students will present individually to the instructor(s) either on the day of the exhibit or in the following weeks of school (up through January 17). </p><p>Grading The completed exhibit will constitute 20% of the second quarter grade. A grading rubric will be provided later in the quarter.</p><p>Summary Paper 40% Works Cited/Citations 10% Artifacts Paper 30% Presentation 20% Topics for Civil War Exhibit (not limited to this list – you may propose one of your own)</p><p>Abolitionists Slavery in the South</p><p>Frederick Douglass slave life William Lloyd Garrison Nat Turner’s Rebellion The Grimke Sisters Dred Scott v.
