Created by Amy Donnelly and Elizabeth Ridgway for <a href=\"http:\/\/memory.loc.gov\/ammem\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">American Memory<\/a>, the project is intended for students in the seventh grade, though it can easily be adapted. The activities require students to use  a selection of the Library of Congress\u2019 collection of <a href=\"http:\/\/memory.loc.gov\/ammem\/cwphtml\/cwphome.html\" target=\"_blank\">Civil War photographs<\/a>, first to analyze the primary sources before choosing one for their article. Eventually the goal is for students to produce a website, or an online archive, for their \u201cnewspaper\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Meant to take place over several days (possibly a week), the project can be modified to suit individual class needs. One example of such a modification would make the project interdisciplinary, in conjunction with English class. The \u201cMatthew Brady Bunch\u201d project acts as a good way to end a unit on the Civil War, allowing a class to cover a wide range of events, people, or places. In addition, the project requires students to work with primary sources, develop research skills, and improve writing skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Matthew Brady Bunch: Civil War Newspapers\u201d is a series of lesson activities that ultimately has students produce their own newspaper articles on different aspects of the Civil War as a larger class project.
