Spanish-American War Project
Page 347 in textbook
Objective: In this partner project you will learn about the people and events that form the SpanishAmerican War. This was a very short war, but one that had quite a role in our quest to becoming a
global power.
Instructions: To understand what happened, you must do the following:
 Write an explanation/summary using your book for each of the events listed below ON A
SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER. Be sure to include the date on your summaries. Your
explanations should be detailed enough that someone could pick it up and understand the whole
Spanish-American War. Tell a story!
 After completing the description, you will complete an illustrated flip book on small sheets of
paper.
 Each event in the flip book must include the title AND picture.
 You don’t have to be an excellent artist! All you can do is try your very best! I like stick figures!
 You will turn in your description of each event along with the flip book.
