Historical Figure Facebook Project

100 Points

The purpose of the project is to create a facebook page on a historical figure. Use the note-taking page to complete research before you begin constructing the page or finding pictures. Students will be given time to gather research on their topic. Research should thoroughly let readers understand what that person’s accomplishments were in history. Students are expected to meet the criteria for earning points outlined in the scoring guide/rubric.

The facebook template can be found on my website:
