Mid-Winter Break – No school Monday 2/20 and Tuesday 2/21

All About Me – Nonfiction Text Feature Report Due Feb. 22nd

This book report will allow students to choose a noteworthy African American, past or present, to research. February is Black History Month (or African History Month) in the US, so this gives us a great opportunity to learn about the role these fascinating individuals played in American history. The report will be a file folder presentation about this person’s life and achievements. The project will be made to represent the person you are studying.  Attached are the tools needed to be completed while reading and researching. Expectations for project components are included as well.
