8B+Mini+Wiki+Research+Project+-+The+Civil+War

==This year, the 8th graders designed their own unique research projects focused on the Civil War. As a class, we learned about the __social__, __political__, __economic__, __cultural__, and __geographic__ reasons why the Civil War happened in our country. Then, each student chose to become an expert on one component of the conflict and report out their learning using digital media freeware found online. ==

Each project is centered around a topic and guided by a student-created essential question.
