Thursday, May 1 and Friday, May 2 you will be working in pairs or small groups on a webquest about the Civil War.

Complete instructions and resources can be found at the webquest – A Nation Divided.

Your assignment (as outlined on the webquest page) is to read about life during the Civil War and then write a letter to a friend describing the conditions that you face as a soldier. Your letter should be several paragraphs in length (3+).

The research and writing you complete for this assignment are also intended to help you with the project for this chapter. Keep in mind the ultimate goal – to write a memoir as a person who lived through the Civil War.
