We're moving right through Texas' History and will begin discussing the Civil War next week. This war is the bloodiest in our history, and some battles were even fought right here in Texas. With Americans fighting Americans, this was definitly a dark time in our history, but also an important one to learn about.
For extra credit this week create a brochure about the Civil War. Instructions for each section are below, and this assignment will be worth two replacement grades or 30 extra points on a major grade. This is a great opportunity to bring up your grade. Brochure Instructions
Front Cover: Title page
Inside First Page: The Two Sides: The Union and The Confederacy
Inside Left: How the War Began
Inside Middle: Major Battles
Inside Right: America Reunited (how it ended)

*The brochure must have color and illustrations on every page! You may do it by hand or create it on the computer, your choice. You can email it to me if you do it on the computer.
If you need clarification let me know. I can draw up a quick example for you. Again, this is due next Friday, February 3rd.
