Civil War Game Union (North)--2.9 million or 2,900,000 Confederacy (South)--1.2 million or 1,200,000 There will be a number of “battles” fought between the North and South, testing your knowledge of specific events throughout the years of the Civil War. Each of these battles will result in causalities for both armies. There will also be bulletin board, and a small project, which may result in causalities as well. The point break down is as follows: Each team member has the opportunity to receive: Assignments 100 points for their bulletin board 50 points for each battle (5 battles) 50 points for a final quiz 50 points for a final project Totaling in 450 points Who you work with ARMY ARMY INDIVIDUAL SOLDIER INDIVIDUAL SOLDIER As you can see, there are portions of points that you receive as an army, so you must keep each other accountable. To help do this, there will be generals and lieutenants assigned as “team captains” to help delegate work and check – up on progress. Battles For the battles, each soldier will be responsible for learning certain portions of notes that I will provide you with. It will be a jeopardy type game, where I give questions to each army in regards to the notes. Each problem they get wrong, results in a loss of men. The army with the most men at the end will win the ‘war’, but that does not mean you will receive a good or bad grade for the unit. It all depends on how your team works together and how you do your individual work.

Civil War Battles The battles will be over years of the Civil War. There will be 5 battles: 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864, and 1865. Each battle will be fought in a quiz game fashion. It is your job to divide out the notes that I provide for you among soldiers, but, it would be best if everyone knows most of the material so you can talk together as an army to create the best answer. In order to get the full 50 points, each team must have the following: Detailed notes re-written, with important dates, people and places high-lighted _____ / 30 pts 20 Practice questions written out with answers _____ / 10 pts Full group participation during the battle _____ / 10 pts Total _____ / 50 pts You will lose men by the number of questions you answer incorrectly. Each incorrect answer will equal 50,000 men lost, so it is imperative that you study for each battle. Re-written notes must be in your own words with the dates, people and places high-lighted, with a highlighter. They must also be neat and in chronological order. 20 Practice questions must be numbered and have answers written on a separate page. These will hopefully help you study for the battle.
