First Quarter Project


Here are the requirements for the project if you need them.

Assignment for 1st Quarter

Option A.

You are to create a song, rap, or poem about one of the topics that we have studied so far. These include, but are not limited to: Hamilton’s Plan, Whiskey Rebellion, French Revolution, Neutrality Proclamation, Political Parties, Fugitive Slave Act, Battle of Fallen Timbers, or Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin.

Your work should be creative and should give the impression that you are the master of your topic. In other words, the more thought and effort that you put into this assignment, the better the grade. Try to be informative and creative at the same time. Performance in front of the class is completely optional.

Your assignment should be typed. You can use the example that I did as a model.

Option B. Founding Father Facebook.

We have spent some time talking about some very influential individuals: Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Little Turtle, Eli Whitney, George Washington, and Richard Allen to name a few.

You have the option to “create” a Facebook page for one of the historical figures that has been covered in class. Use the following guidelines for the Facebook page:

1. Needs to be designed on poster paper. (Do not make one online)

2. Who would be their friends from that time period (in other words, you will not be listed as their friend)

3. Do they have any special interests?

4. Use some of their quotes

5. Paintings or Portraits

6. Birthday and where they are from

This assignment will require you to do some research about the individual that you have chosen regarding their personal background.
