=Introduction= On a cold winter evening, as you are snuggling down for the night about to turn on your favorite TV show, you hear a knock at your window. You open your curtain to see a boy of your age but dressed in a navy blue Civil War uniform and carrying a drum, he looks terrified. “My name is Jackson Calhoun and I really need your help”.

You look at him startled that a Civil War soldier is at your front door but you allow him in to sit and get warm. You make some hot cocoa for him and he starts to tell his story. You find out that he is a time traveler and has just come back from the future where no one remembers or learns of the great sacrifice that over 600,000 have made during the Civil War. He was assigned to the Union Army to play drums as soldiers marched into battle, many of those soldiers he saw never made it back.

“You need to learn everything you can about the Civil War and help others remember!” he said “So people won’t forget their sacrifice and this terrible fate can be avoided”. He got down on his hands and knees and begs you. “Please don’t let my friends’ deaths be in vain”.

So, will you accept this challenge?

=Task= You are a group of Documentarians and Civil War experts trying to get your documentary featured on the History Channel's "Civil War Week". Your task as 8 groups is to produce an iMovie documentary segment about an assigned aspect of the Civil War. The aspects are: Women in the Civil War, Maine in the Civil War, Weaponry, Slavery, Battles Pre-Gettysburg, Gettysburg, Battles Post-Gettysburg, Surrender at Appomattox, Reconstruction. We will then as a class combine our segments to create a full length documentary to submit to the History Channel's panel of directors for review. If accepted,we will establish our names as Civil War experts as well as have our documentary viewed by thousands across the world.

=Conclusion= “Thank You” Jackson says as he gets up and walks outside. He waves to you as he disappears into the snow.

Through this process each of you have learned more about the bloodiest war in American History. Over 600,000 soldiers perished between 1861 and 1865
