Overview of Causes of the Civil War Project

In the Causes of the Civil War class project, each group (of one, two or three students) researched one cause of the Civil War. The different topics were Bleeding Kansas, California & the Gold Rush, Caning of Charles Sumner, Compromise of 1850, Dred Scott Decision, John Brown & Harper's Ferry, Kansas-Nebraska Act, Mexican-American War, Missouri Compromise, Secession of South, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. From their research, each group made an online scrapbook so that students could learn about their cause from viewing each scrapbook. Students used things like Prezi, Weebly, and Glogster to create their scrapbook. The scrapbook included an introduction essay, at least twelve primary sources that had captions to explain how the primary source relates to the topic, and a bibliography that stated all of the groups’ sources. The scrapbook needed at least six primary source pictures and at least six primary source documents. During class, students had the opportunity to look at each scrapbook and include each cause on a timeline. Each cause needed the name of the event, the date of the event, and a brief description of the event, including how the event impacted slavery. The events were put into chronological order on the timeline.

Note: Compromise of 1850 and Bleeding Kansas should switch places on the timeline. 
Also, I am not sure how to crop the print screen so that only the timeline shows.
