" Today I will be informing you abot the Civil War. The war the tore friends and families apart and slavery. "
-Erin
Is that a good intro for a 4-H project intro??
No. You have an incomplete sentence.
You also haven't told the audience what you're going to tell them about the Civil War.
There are whole libraries of books about this war.
Without reading at least a rough draft of the entire speech, there's no way to tell if this is good or not.
See Ms. Sue's post below.
But they did say to introduce it or else i wouldn't have done that. Because I hate doing that!!
Too bad, Erin. Obviously you can't benefit from our help.
thanks anyway
While the introduction you provided touches on some key points related to the Civil War, there are a few things you can consider to make it more effective.
1. Provide clear context: Start by clearly stating what the Civil War is and when it occurred. This will help your audience understand the timeframe and historical significance of the topic.
2. Engage the audience: Instead of simply stating that you will be informing them about the Civil War, try to captivate your audience by using an exciting or thought-provoking statement. This will grab their attention and make them more interested in your project.
3. Highlight the importance: Emphasize why the topic of the Civil War is important and why it is worth learning about. This will create a sense of relevance and motivate your audience to listen.
Here's a revised version of your introduction considering these suggestions:
"Imagine a world torn apart by a devastating war, where friends and families found themselves on opposing sides. Picture a time when a deeply rooted institution like slavery divided a nation. Welcome to the era of the Civil War, one of the most significant chapters in American history. In this project, we will delve into the causes, events, and lasting impact of this tumultuous period, as we explore the complexities of a war that shaped our nation's future."
Remember, this is just a suggestion, and you can personalize it further to suit your style and project goals.
