Scrap-booking the Major Civil War Causes

For our semester research project we spent a lot of time and researched the causes of the civil war. Our class worked on this project in groups. My group included Kevin, Ronny, and I. We were assigned to research the Kansas-Nebraska Act. For our project we started off by researching the causes of the conflict, the issue, and the effects of the Act. After we had a thorough understanding of the topic, each group had to find 12 primary sources and cite each. After we cited each source we made a bibliography in alphabetical order. Once we had sufficient amount of information and primary sources on the topic we put it all into a scrapbook. My group decided to display the information we had on the Kansas-Nebraska Act in a prezi. While we were putting together our prezi my group put all the primary sources in order of happening so they told a story. Once we finished our research project; the next few days in class we spent looking at other groups projects to learn about all the events relating to the causes of the civil war. While observing the other groups projects my group made a timeline putting each event in chronological order so we have a good understanding of the causes of the civil war.
