Our project for our Civil War Unit is to make a “Box Book”. They are very simple to make. We will send home directions as well as putting pictures on our class blog at http://berventhomas5thgrade.blogspot.com. Please choose either an event or a person from the list below, or find other examples in your textbook. The Civil War can be found in Chapter 16 and 17 of your textbook. Once you have chosen, you will create a Box Book, describing the person or event from the start to finish. There will be 10-12 entries that you feel are the most important about your person or event – just make sure you put them in chronological order. You may find out information about this person/event either from your textbook, online, or other sources including the local library. You need to write 3-5 complete 5th grade sentences for each entry. These will need to be typed or written in your best printing. You will need to decorate the box with pictures of the event or person you have chosen.
