Freedom Fighter Project

Here's a reprint from the directions you received about the initial stages of our Freedom Fighters Scrapbook Project.

Don't forget to pick out your books and get your parent consent forms signed.

1. First, you will need to select your Freedom Fighter. There are some great choices out there. See last post.

2. Freedom Fighter consent form needs to be signed by parent/guardian and returned to teacher on November 7th.

3. Read your biography each day independently. Your biography should be read by November 17th.

4. Conduct independent research about your author’s life.

5. Bibliography should include all book and online sources you use in your project. A minimum of two sources is required.
