Our Civil War Digital Stories
Special Thanks for all their help
Mr. Arena, Mrs. Papso and Mrs. Beck
and
Bernajean Porter for her inspiration and coaching.
About the Project:
What if you were there?
Develop a digital story in the form of a personal narrative illustrating one moment in “your” life during the civil war time period. Remember this is a personal narrative, but it needs to be based on historical facts. Consider their perspective.
Students worked in groups of 2-3 on this collaborative project.
Core Standards:
nSS5H1 The student will explain the causes, major events, and consequences of the Civil War
nELA5W1 The student produces writing that establishes an appropriate organizational structure, sets context and engages the reader, maintains a coherent focus throughout, and signals a satisfying closure
nELA5W2 The student demonstrates competence in a variety of genres: Personal Narrative
nELA5W4 The student consistently uses a writing process to develop, revise, and evaluate writing.
nELA5LSV2 The student listens to and views various forms of text and media in order to gather and share information, persuade others, and express and understand ideas.
nf. Use technology or other memory aids to structure the presentation.
