Estimated time to complete: 4 periods
 
Your Task:
Create a book explaining 24 terms, people, places or ideas from a given historical time period. Each page will consist of a single word starting with a letter from the alphabet, a graphic, and a short explanation of the term. This should be completed with a partner.


Directions:

1. Fold a paper in half.

2. On each of the 2 panels you will:

a. Beginning with the letter “A” choose a term from the unit that begins with that letter. Example: If the page is ‘J’ and this was the unit on Asia you might choose “Japan”. You may choose any two letters to skip if you want (Q and X most likely!)

b. Write the term in big, colorful letters on the top or bottom of the page.

c. Write at least 3 sentences explaining what the term means.

d. Draw and color a picture to go along with your term. This could be a map, chart or your own drawing.
