Study the geography of the United States in 1860 through additional research (outside of your notes and the textbook).

Specifically focus on the climate, physical features, and natural resources of the North and the South.

Once you gathered the necessary information, create a three-dimensional physical map of the United States in the 1860.

You may use any materials needed for this project. Be creative! See Mr. Long for additional supplies.

Once you have completed your 3D map, write a one page paper explaining the geography of the North and the South - and how it affected the economy of the two regions.

It's election day!

Create a newscast about the election of 1860 with a partner.

You and your partner will need to develop a script and props to properly present your newscast to the rest of the class.

In your "election day" newscast, make sure to include information about the candidates, the results, and the immediately aftermath of the election.

I have attached a video of news coverage from the most recent presidential election for reference.

The first blog entry should be about his life BEFORE the Dred Scott v. Sandford case.

The second blog entry should be about the Dred Scott v. Sandford case (and its decision).

The third blog entry should be about his life AFTER the Dred Scott v. Sandford case.

Each blog entry should be 2-3 paragraphs.
