Use this graphic organizer to record the answers to the five questions you will be answering while you are doing your research:
Where were they born?
What year were they born in?
What did they do that was important to the United States?
When did they die?
Name a fun fact about your person!
While you are researching, please print out at least 4 pictures of your person. One picture must be of your historical figure. You other pictures can be of other things that represent what they did that was important to the United States.
After you look up all your information you will each write a paragraph (with all the questions answered) about your person!
Then, get a poster board from your teacher. With your group, design a poster board about your person. Make sure you include pictures and the information you found from your research! You will present your poster boards to the class!
