* Major events in their life
* Their impact on the Civil Rights Movement and society as a whole
* Other interesting personal details
The Product, part 1: Biographical Paper
When you feel you have completed enough research, you will be writing a 3-4 page biographical paper about the person you have chosen. Papers should include information on each of the above topics. Papers should be typed, double spaced, and size 12 font. A title page is required that includes your name, the name of the person you have studiesd, your class period, and the date. Papers must also include a bibliography (list of references). Keep in mind: Your bibliography and title page do not count towards 3-4 page requirement.

Following your paper, you will be giving a presentation to the class informing us about the person you have researched. Presentations should last approximately 5-10 minutes and include at least one visual aid. (Remember- we don't all know what your person looks like, so be sure to include a photo of them!)
