| Explain - Explain to students that there are several steps to completing the activity. First, they must draw a picture of their subject. Next, fill in the basic information. Here students can do some light research. For the "likes" section, students can infer two or three of these by reading about their subject. For example, George Washington might have "farming" or "planting" as likes. The friends section should include small pictures and names of people connected to the subject. The wall should be quotes and messages from "friends" congratulating the subject on his or her various accomplishments in the Revolutionary era. Friends of George Washington should be other important figures in the war such as Thomas Jefferson, Martha Washington, or Alexander Hamilton for example. |
