Historical Figure Study: extension activity

 * Students may choose a historical figure from the 13 colonies who they are interested in. Such figures could include anyone from Pocahontas to William Bradford, but no two students should have the same person. Research the life of their chosen historical figure, including their achievements and how their actions influenced colonial America. Students may write a speech in first person depicting the life of their chosen historical figure. Students may present their speech speaking as the historical figure to the rest of the class. Students may dress in character to make the project more interesting. This project is appropriate for students in sixth through eighth grade.
