Revolutionary War Research Project and Presentation
Parents,
As we continue to study the Revolutionary War, our students are
being introduced to important historical figures. Each student are to
choose 1 independent activity from the choice board to complete and 1
group project to complete. The focus of the research should be about the
impact of the Revolutionary War.
The student will also need to create notecards to assist them in presenting
their individual projects to the class. The notecards should have the
majority of the important information to be shared. These notecards can be
referred to during the oral presentation, but they are not to be read to the
class. Students should practice sharing this information prior to presenting
in class.
Presentations will take place Thursday, Dec.18th and Friday, Dec.19th.
I look forward to viewing the wonderful presentations from each student.
Please email me if you have any further questions,
