=Introduction= Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wonder why I have the freedoms I do" or have you ever thought about how our society became what it is today? Well today you will have the opportunity to explore how our society and the laws we have and how the effects of the Civil War are still present today in the United States.

=Task= You and your team are up and coming producers with a particular interest in history looking for a job in Hollywood. Come to find out, the History Channel is looking for help! They are coming out with a new series on the Civil War and want to include an episode about the citizen's view of the war and an episode on how the war effected the world today. The producers are asking for you to complete a 4-6 minute pilot episode that contains both the citizen's view and the effects. You can choose to be from any social status, state or side during the Civil War, but be sure to really get into your character's mind set. They ask that you spend half the time on each topic, and provide examples to back up your ideas. To be sure your video is chosen you need to make it not only educational but also entertaining and accurate. You have the freedom to discuss the citizen's view in semi-broad terms, or get more in-depth and look into their views on particular battles. Remember your careers as producers are on the line! Have fun and good luck!

=Conclusion= //(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)//
