Directions: Below are instructions and tips to help you with your research for this assignment.

1. To view each site, simply click on the link of your choice and it will automatically download.
2. Prior to group discussion it is not necessary to spend a lot of time on each site but you may want to make additional notes on each website to help you later.
3. During your initial review, make a list of discovered roles played by women in the Civil War.
4. During group discussion, add any roles mentioned by other groups that you did not find.
5. Once you are back in your group, create an outline of what you want your presentation to cover. (Do you want to cover various women with the same role?, Do you want to cover various roles with a short description of a specific woman for each role?, etc…)
6. When your outline is completed, research each website in depth to find the information you want to use. Make sure you write down each resource you take information from so you can include it in your bibliography. You may also use other sources in addition to the websites.
7. Make sure you edit each slide and the accompanying written work for the proper use of standard English spelling, punctuation, and grammar
8. Once you have completed your project, review your assessment template to make sure you have fulfilled all the requirements.
