American Revolution Mini-Figures Project Instructions (for those not attending the Spring Trip)
You are expected to complete the entire paper packet by the end of the school week and must turn into Ben on the due date of Friday 4/24. Follow all instructions and guidance in the packet and below.
You should complete research on 1 historical figure from the provided lists in your packet daily and complete all associated questions and drawings for the figure.
All questions should be answered in complete sentences and in your own words. Your written responses should not be copied and pasted from source websites or formulated using AI. AI should not be used for any aspect of the project including research.
Drawings should demonstrate you spent time and effort to complete. Neatness matters and you should use colored pencils, markers, etc. The drawings of the figures and their symbols should not be in pencil or pen.
Research Websites:
All figures from the lists can be found using the American Battlefield Trust website with the exception of a few figures. I've included those figure names linked to an approved research source but you may only choose one of the following if you select one of these historical figures: Wentworth Cheswell, Anna Smith Strong, Cornplanter, Francis Marion.
