Your task will be to become a citizen, soldier (Union or Confederate), newspaper reporter or other person that would have been in Gettysburg on July 1,2,3 of 1863.  You will create a journal of your activities during that time complete with pictures, maps and any other artifacts that would be important for the time and situation.

Some questions to guide your thinking:  How might citizens be feeling during these days?  What kinds of emotions would soldiers have at this time? (Union or Confederate) What events would your character be involved in? What would you report to your newspaper?
