African American Achiever Project

Hello! I know there was some confusion about projects so wanted to clarify!
If there are any additional questions please feel free to reach out so I can answer for everyone!

EVERYONE will turn in projects (posters/essays) on WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 20th! Originally, projects were staggered to limit presentations on a single day; however, I don’t think it is fair that some students projects are due earlier than others. SO if this due date is a problem please let me know!! 🙂 

Costumes are NOT required for classroom presentations. While this would be an added bonus, the goal of classroom presentations will be to share information learned and the poster they completed. The poster should include pictures and basic information about their achiever (birth, death, why we remember them, famous quotes, etc).

The GOAL is to have children dress up another day (all on the same day) to share in a museum style walk around (see this video for example) at school but this date is TBD by the librarian and additionally, for those who can participate, they would love for students to dress up and share at the PTO meeting on February 26 at 6 pm!!!

At events where students dress up, they would have a button in front of them that people would walk up and “push” and they will “come to life” and explain a little bit about themselves. This speech should be less than one minute!

I have asked the librarian about the date of the school presentation in which we would all present and will share as soon as I know. Students will all participate whether they are dressed up or not. They will be responsible for sharing information about their achiever.

 

Please let me know if any of this needs additional clarification. I KNOW IT IS A LOT! I apologize. 🙂 Thank you for the support!!
