Write a journal entry from the perspective of a soldier or a civilian during the Civil War. Your journal entry should include:
• a historically accurate date and location (for example, July 4, 1863, near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania)
• one paragraph describing one of the key events or battles of the war so far
• one paragraph describing your experiences as a soldier or as a civilian during that key event or battle and how it affected you. Use
details from your Reading Notes or the classroom activity, and include relevant dialogue and descriptions of specific actions.
