Historical Identity Assignment
Historical Identity Assignment – Mr. Bonning’s Class
Your assignment is to assume the role of someone we have studied in history this year. You will take on that person’s identity for one entire day at school. You will dress like your historical figure, act, and talk like them, in fact everything you do that day will be “in character” as that person. The object of this assignment is to pick someone we have studied in class that you found interesting and then research everything you can about that person. You must find out that persons accomplishments, likes, dislikes, political ideas, ambitions, favorite foods, style of dress, personal skills, education, habits, quirks, language skills, and anything else that would help you to become them. Then the week before your final exam you will come to school as this figure for one day. In class you will answer questions posed by your classmates and Mr. Bonning about your person. You will be graded on how accurately you can answer these questions, along with how well you stay in character. Additionally you will be graded on costume, and how well you stay in character throughout the day.
Points of interest:
• Assignment will be worth 100 points – see check sheet.
• The reason we are doing this (other than for a grade) is to get you to learn more about one person in history that you find interesting then you have ever learned before… don’t take this assignment lightly!
• This is the best assignment of the year to “wow” me.
• All historical figures picked must be cleared by Mr. Bonning, only one historical figure per student on a first come first serve basis (no substitutions, exchanges or refunds).
• Finally pick someone you are passionate to learn about and have fun!
