The Civil War comes to DEMA!! November 13, 2009 Our fifth grade historians brought the Civil War to life here at DEMA. Everyone researched one historical person from the time period and wrote a first person speech, as if they themselves were that person in that era. On November 13, our fifth graders transformed themselves into the people they studied and gave a 3 to 5 minutes speech, explaining life during the Civil War. |
