Parents,
Students must present a project on an African-American of their choice based
on a pre-approved list.
The project has two parts: a typed (or handwritten) two-page report and a
poster. The project will count as a quiz/project grade (20 percent of the nine-
week grade).
Reports cannot be plagiarized or copy-and-pasted from the Internet. Reports
must be thoughtful and show that the student did research along with the help
of a parent.
Poster boards can include hand-drawn pictures or photos of the person
selected. The poster must also include facts about the person. The poster should
be creative and neat.
All projects are due Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014. No late work will be accepted.Presentations will also take place on Thursday, Feb. 20 and Friday, Feb. 21.
