Process

Your teacher has assigned you a group and a role (Northerner, Southerner, and Slave).  As you read the following websites and gather information you need to look at the information from the role you have been given. Think about how the person would see the events and how they would feel about each event and person that you research.  

Use each Inspiration Note Template to take your notes from the websites.  There are three separate note documents that you need to use for each diary entry.  You will work with your group during the research but you need to keep your role in mind as you read the information.  After researching you will take your notes and write your entries.
