Generals of The Civil War Paper

This Friday, March 21st, you will turn in the written portion of your Civil War Project. To earn a good grade on this paper, you must:

• Include a cover page with:
• title (including name of your general)
• your name
• my name
• class and period
• due date
• A well-written biographical essay (of at least five paragraphs) with introductory paragraph, body paragraphs, and concluding paragraph
• Your essay must include biographical information, such as:
• birth date
• birthplace
• personal life (married? children? educated? jobs?)
• date of death
• place of death
• cause of death
• What was their pre-war life like?
• What side did they fight for and why?
• What battles did they fight in, and to what result?
• If they survived, what was their post-war life like?
• What accomplishments make them memorable?
• What makes them interesting?
• Bibliography

 Although this is not a Language Arts class, I expect that you will write a paper with minimal errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If such errors interrupt the flow of your paper, or are noticeably excessive, your grade will be affected.

Do not merely answer the above questions all in a row and expect a high grade. You need to craft your information into an essay that flows from an introduction through the body and into a conclusion.
