You and a partner will be responsible for putting together a project on one of the major figures in the American Revolution. This project will consist of:
1.
A written report on the person that includes biographical information and why that person was important during this time period.
2.
A PowerPoint that will include the highlights of your report. You will present this to the class. It must include both information and pictures/art. You may also include sound.
This project will be due on February 7. You have one week to complete this project, so both people should take on some of the responsibility of the work. We will spend next Monday in the computer lab to work on PowerPoint, and I will save your work to be presented on Wed. Feb. 7!
