Week 8
This week in class, we were asked to do our midterm evaluation, which I felt strong about because I believed I answered the short answer questions with good detail. After our midterm, we created a new tab in our google doc for our soldiers. The new tab is an important that ties our soldier to specific dates and events. The columns we created in this tab were date, place, what he was doing there, and source of every piece of information.
Our soldiers are more than just basic traits that we’ve been collecting like height, weight, eye color, etc. Although, describing the physical attributes is important, we also need to realize that these civil soldiers did remarkable things for this country and some of them paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and for what we stand for today. For example, Conrad Kahler of the 29th New York Infantry took a gun shot to the forearm and still finished the battle of Bull Run. I could never imagine doing such a thing for something that I feel like didn’t effect me.
