 * You are a leading member of the American Civil War Society. This year the society is trying to create the largest Civil War reenactment event ever to take place. To do this the society is hoping to get Civil War reenactment organizations from across the country to be a part of it. The goal is to have different battalions marching along the same paths as the real soldiers did and to engage in battle reenactments along the way. As leading members of the society you and your colleagues are in charge of trying to organize this event. To do this you and your colleagues will each pick military campaigns you would like to follow. You will then use Google Earth to mark out the places where battles took place and you will create a virtual tour following the path the soldiers took from one battle to the next. Within Google Earth you want to be sure to add information about each battle within the place-marks, and add links for places to find more information. Once you have recorded your tour you will give a presentation to the organization near the region where those battles took place. This tour is meant to be a guide for that organization, and as you play your tour for them you should give them information about the battles they will be reenacting so that they can prepare. As with any reenactment organization your goal is not just to entertain but also to inform, with this in mind you will also make your product available on the web for all to see. This version should have the audio of your presentation recorded directly into your tour so that any person who wants to be able to learn more about the Civil War will be able to hear your presentation. The attack on Fort Sumter is fast approaching so you will need to get right to work. Good Luck. ||
