People in US History

Honors class:
Question:  Who is the most courageous person in US History?

You will be assigned a person of great courage.  It will be your job to convince the class that your person is the most courageous.  The format will be tournament style and the brackets are posted in the classroom.   Rounds 1 and 2 will begin on Wednesday, May 28.  The Championship Finals will be Exam day.  Absences are a forfeit.  Forfeits will affect your grade.  Use strategy because arguments used in round one cannot be used in successive rounds.

People who were absent May 21...see me about your assigned person.
6th period:  P.D. - Jackie Robinson
                   Q.P. - Abigail Adams
                   P.E. - Jimmy Doolittle
                   C.U. - Eleanor Roosevelt
Remember to look for "Courage"...not just bravery in action, but also in strength of character.


Regular US History:
You will be creating a "Fakebook" page on a person in US History.  The template is online.
