Based on your research essay, you will construct a project that puts you in the time period and creatively tells a story from your research. It will be 7 pages total (unless you are doing a video – in which case it should be 1-3 minutes long.)

Suggestions might include:

• Invitation to a lecture by a female scientist
• Journal of a female astronaut
• Mock trial of passing the Equal Employment Act
• Recipe book for women in science
• Employment ads seeking a female doctor
• Yearbook from a woman studying science at university
• Church bulletin for civil rights activists
• Descriptive battle maps of French encounters
• Letter back home from a black soldier
• Pamphlet by NAACP outlining their beliefs and aims
• Newspaper article describing discrimination of black soldiers
• Tourism website for Houston in the 1920s
• Social media account of a WWI recruiter
• Twitter account by President Wilson

FINAL PROJECT

• Written Description In a one page written introduction, tell me why you chose this format and what you learned in the creative process. What software did you use to complete it? What historical examples gave you ideas for your project? (1 page, 20 points)
• Creative Portion The best part! Include images, clever formatting, and enough detail to prove your research. You can either upload a digital version or, if you have drawn by hand, take a photo and upload that. Save any digital versions (Word, Publisher, PowerPoint, whatever, as a PDF so I will definitely be able to open it). Videos are great, too! Or, create a website! (5 pages, 70 points)
• Works Cited Include whatever sources you use to inform your project. This might be the same as your bibliography, but you still need to include it. If you add or subtract any sources for the creative portion, make the changes on this works cited. (10 points)
