Reminders...
INSTRUCTIONS:
Sectionalism leads to Civil War
… How America entered a Civil War …
Your assignment is to tell the story, beginning to end, of how Sectional conflict in the United States led us to secession… and then to Civil War….
You will use at least 4 of the following “Sectional Conflicts” to tell the story…
SECTIONAL CONFLICTS
· Missouri Compromise
· Compromise of 1850
· Kansas-Nebraska Act / elections in Kansas…
· Bleeding Kansas / Pottawatomie Massacre
· Dredd-Scott Supreme Court Case
· Lincoln-Douglas Debates
· John Brown’s Raid on Harper’s Ferry
· Election of Abraham Lincoln
You must end your story with…
· SECESSION… & The declaration of Civil War!
You may choose any format you like to tell the story…
FOR EXAMPLE:
· A comic strip (at least 10 frames… intro, conclusion, and 2 per conflict)
· A performance (act this out in front of the class… this one would be challenging so I may be willing to offer some extra credit)
· A film (nothing to fancy, because you don’t have a very long time time to put it together… perhaps film what you would perform in class so you don’t have to do it on the spot)
· A short story (create characters that would be a part of at least 4 of these conflicts and follow them through the story)
· A photo-journal or collage (include multiple pictures of each conflict + pictures to represent Secession / the beginning of Civil War)
· ANY OTHER FORMAT YOU LIKE … as long as you approve it w/ me first.
You will be graded on… HOW WELL YOU UNDERSTAND THE FACTS OF THE EVENTS YOU CHOOSE, HOW WELL YOU UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WE WENT TO WAR, & THE QUALITY OF THE WORK YOU TURN IN!
