 * Voice of Beauty": American Women in the Midst of Civil War

//Please choose one of the women listed below, and get to know her. Create a wiki page for her, and include the following information://
 * a picture of her, if you can find one. If you can't, please find some photo or picture that pertains to her life.
 * a basic biography -- born and died, something about family life or anecdotes to make her seem more real; try to convey something about what kind of person she was.
 * a description of the way(s) in which her life was affected by war -- her contributions, experiences, etc. How did the Civil War change her circumstances, her future.
 * Include two questions you would like to ask your subject, if you were able to.
 * If you can find a brief excerpt from something she wrote or said, all the better!

You may create your wiki page in whatever format you wish: You may do some creative writing and put the information in the form of a letter or diary entries or a poem or even a Facebook entry; you may include a collection of pictures/photos; you may use a more objective, encyclopedia-like format -- but try to make your subject come to life!

Tomorrow in class you will BECOME your subject and tell us about yourself. Bring some type of prop or costume piece, and you may refer to an index card as you present. We'll look at the wikis, too, although I don't want you to refer to the wiki as you present. Instead, I want you to let us meet your topic through you, as much as possible!
