In your groups of three, your first task is to each choose and research a famous figure celebrated during this month. Time period does not matter, but try to choose someone you feel you have a connection with. You will assume the role of your chosen figure and gather important facts using the organizer provided below.
Historic Figures to look at:
-
Martin Luther King Jr.
-
Rosa Parks
-
Oprah Winfrey
-
Louis Armstrong
-
Muhammad Ali
-
Jackie Robinson
-
Barbara Harris
-
Harriet Tubman
​
These are merely suggestions, but research for these individuals will be easy to dig up. There will be no duplicate figures. You will submit your top 3 choices, and I will do my best to give everyone one of the three they give me. If not, I will work with you to help you choose a figure.
Task One: Research Facts
Research Organizer
​
The website above is just one source that can be helpful in finding out about your chosen character. The other sites you will be allowed to use: biography.com/tag/black-history, enchantedlearning.com, timeforkids.com, and www,aawc.com.
​
Your goal is to find 7 important facts that showcase who your chosen character is and what makes them such an important figure for Black History Month! Use the fact sheet attached to write your information. You will be turning this into me in class when the project is complete.
