5th Block US History Assignments

This is an individual assignment. Create a Timeline of the important events of the Civil War. You may do this as a paper poster, as a digital poster, or as a google slides presentation. You will be presenting this in class, so be sure it is legible and easy to understand. 
The attached file has the events to include in your timeline and the instructions on what information also needs to be included for each event. 

Please note: On the rubric, the points are different for your assignment. You will multiply the possible points by 5. For example, if it says it is worth 4 points, it is actually worth 20. If it says it is worth 3 points, it is actually worth 15. The timeline portion is worth 80 points. The in-class presentation is worth 20 points, for a total of 100 points for this assignment. 
Presentations will begin on Thursday May 4th, and will go in random order
