8th Grade – Research Project Guidelines

Posted by on June 1, 2018

For your research project, you will do a summarization of each cause of the Civil War in 1-2 slides.  Your slides should include information and pictures (if possible).  Create the presentation on Google Slides and share it with me.  These will be due by the end of the day on Monday, June 4, 2018.

The events/topics you will need to summarize are:

  1. The Missouri Compromise
  2. The Dred Scott Case
  3. The Abolitionist Movement
  4. Abolitionist John Brown
  5. Raid on Harper’s Ferry
  6. Slavery in America
  7. Uncle Tom’s Cabin
  8. Southern Secession
  9. Abraham Lincoln’s Election in 1860

Your presentation should be no less than 10 slides and no more than 20.  Grammar, punctuation, and spelling will also be graded for this assignment, so review your work carefully before you submit.  Make sure your graphics and colors chosen go with your font choice.  It should be easy to read and neatly organized.  This project should be of your own words and design.  Do not copy and paste from the internet.  This will be worth 50 summative points.
