February Take Home Project
Due: Friday, February 27, 2014
This month’s project will include an informational writing piece (facts) and a visual aid as part of the presentation. Students should choose one of the following people to research and shared their findings with the class. The paper and presentation should include information about:
- the person’s childhood
- struggles and obstacles they faced
- what contributions they made
- how they showed leadership
- the person’s legacy (how we remember them)
Once students have completed their informational writing piece they should create a visual aid to present to the class. Each student will read their writing and present their visual on Friday, February 27, 2015.
