Civil War Weapons - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: This webiste is great for teaching younger kids about the civil war and the weapons in it. The purpose for all of my webistes was to give the students a good starting point to research off of and then they could branch off of that in deeper research. Kidport.com is aimed toward younger kids but with that it has plenty of visuals. Content and Overview: Like I said before this is a very simple website and has plenty of pictures. There is a brief description of what each weapon did and what party had that weapon. The pictures give a great visual of what these weapons looked like and users could visualize how it was used. The design is very simple and can be guided by anyone! There's a description box and then a box for the picture. Simple as 1,2,3!

Civil War Overview - 0 views

  •  
    This webiste is great!!! It is the most realible out of all the other websites I chose to do. It provides a brief summary over stuff like how the war got started, background of the war, outbreak of the civil war and the Emancipation Proclamation. Plus it has a huge number of videos to view and help the user understand the subject better. Content and Design: The content of this website is just tip-top and the audience is for anyone that is wanting to know more about the great Civil War. The videos are simple enough that a elementry kid could get the basic idea of it but also is filled with enough facts that a high school kid could get what they and probably be satisfied. The design is very simple and easy to navigate. They have the videes to watch at the top of the page and the reading is just a bit down the page. Plus there are a few links that a user could explore at the bottom of the page so they can explore more into the website.

Civil War Timeline - 0 views

    Overview: This website is very detailed and not only covers the most important dates of the civil war but also dates that aren't in the normal textbook. It's very simple to find your way from date to date and is in chronological order so its easy to spot a specific date. Content and Design: Like I said the content of this website is full great information and dates that cover the most important battles to certian speeches that President Lincoln gave. It starts out on April 9, 1861 and ends in May of 1865. Also the dates are detailed in information. The audience that this targets is just about anyone because it doesn't go into much depth but it also gives enough information that it can be useful. The design of it is very very simple. It's sectioned off in years and all a user has to do is scroll down and read whats presented.
