Overview:
Black
History Project
As you know, this
month we’re studying the achievements and contributions
of African Americans. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, scholar and historian, started this
celebration many years ago. Dr. Woodson selected the month
of February for this celebration because the birthdays of
President Abraham Lincoln and the abolitionist and former
slave, Frederick Douglass occurred in this month.
All students will
be required to report on one famous African American and
present their report to the class. Your project can take
several forms. Everyone must complete number 1 and
select one other project to complete:
1.
Develop
a PowerPoint Presentation on your famous African American.
The presentation must be a minimum of 10 slides.
2.
Make
a diorama of your famous African American. This project
can depict an event in the life of a person. It must be
colorful and include a description of the person and their
achievements. If possible, bring in videotape resources
about your person.
3.
Make
a Black History Calendar, Stamp or Poster of your person.
Illustrate the important events in their life. Be sure and
include a description of the person, pictures and their
achievements.
4.
Come
dressed as your famous African American. Be prepared to
report orally on the person you are portraying. Be sure
and include a written description and picture of your person
to be turned in at the end of your act.
5.
Be
prepared to be interviewed on camera about your famous African
American. You will have to explain the important contributions
of this person, describe what form your project took
and what you have learned about Black History Month.
6.
All
projects can be accompanied by additional materials. Large
posters, videos, audio cassettes or your own musical abilities
can be included in your project. This project counts as
a test grade.
All
projects are due on Wednesday, February 27, 2002.
