My students will create a short presentation on a Famous African American of their choice.
This is a two part project. Social Studies Project There are many African Americans that have played important roles in shaping the world we live in. We will be studying some of these famous people and what they contributed to world. Students will choose a famous African American that they are interested in learning more about for this project. It can be anyone from a singer that has had a positive impact on the music industry, a movie star that has had remarkable accomplishments, a famous athlete or a civil rights activist that has helped change the world for the better. This will be a two part project. Part One : Students will research the person they choose and complete one of the following boxes on the right side of the screen. This was also sent home. Question to Answer in Presentation Where did this person grow up? What kind of schooling did they have? What was this person’s early life like? What challenges did this person overcome? How did this person become famous? Who or what may have been an influence in this person’s life? Be sure to tell me how they had a positive impact on the world. Part Two: Present what they learned about their person to the class. They may use notecards to assist them...however they may not read directly from anything. The project will be due 2/13/15. Please refer to the rubric on the back of this page to see how the project will be graded. Have fun with this.
