Students are to research important events that took place during prior to the Civil War. They are to use Timetoast, an on-line web 2.0 timeline creation tool to build their timeline. The timeline must have a minimum of 10 or more events. Each event must have the name of the event, it's date, it's location, a description of the events importance / significance, an image that illustrates the event, and the event must be accurate. When the timeline is done, students MUST post it to Haiku.
