Task
Part of understanding history is to understand the important contributions made by African Americans. You and one of your classmates will learn about the life and legacy of an important African American figure or about an important event in American History. To learn about this important figure or event your group will explore web sites, videos, and any resource you can get your hands on.
You and your partner have a task to complete. Your task is to put together a quilt piece containing the information that you collect on the African American figure or event that you choose. Your presentation must be neat, creative, and colorful.
It is important to make your quilt patch interesting. Be sure to include these things in your presentation.
- Who this presentation is about
- What this person did to become important/ What made this event important
