BLACK History Month Project
NON-HONORS Black History Month Project 2016
Research a Person of Color Who Is Worthy of Being Honored.
Simply being a Rap Star, Athlete or Famous Person does not qualify a person to be honored.
You are to create a Collecting Card Design for Your Person..
On the front of the card, put a picture, drawing or graphic representation of the person you are honoring.
On the back, write an explanation of why that person is worthy of being honored during Black History Month.
You may also put any relevant statistics about the person.
2015- Cereal Box
Once you have finished researching your person, you will complete a cereal box report as your project. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Cover a cereal box with colored paper or white paper. If you are writing directly on the paper, e sure to use a light shade so your blue or black ink will show. lf you are going to type or write your information on another sheet of paper then paste it on your box, the background color won't matter.
2. On the front of the box, put the person's name , picture or pictures
about the person, and the name of your cereal. (Name must be directly
related to your person.)
3. For the back of your box, design a game that includes information or
key words about your person. A crossword puzzle, word find, scrambled
letters, "Monopoly," etc. would all be appropriate. When possible,
provide an answer key. Be sure your game is informative!!!
OR-
Write a One Page SINGLE Spaced Report on the person and tell WHY they are worthy of being honored. Remember to cite your sources.
4. On the right side of your box put a time line. You'll need at least 5 Key
Facts beginning with the person's birth date for the timeline.
5. On the left side of your box, create "Fun Facts" or "Did You Know," telling
about your person. For the most part, the information you share
here should be different from the facts included in your time line.
