Process

__Process:__  You have a choice of creating a PowerPoint presentation, an illustrated book, a magazine, a newspaper, or even acting out a re-enactment. If you can think of a more creative approach, just ask my permission. You will research the area I assign using the websites I have listed below the assignment. You have your choice of being a **battlefield reporter**, a **historian**, or an **editor** . You will be presenting your project to the class so know the material! This report should be in your own words. Plagiarism is very wrong! Remember to have fun and be creative!

__Battlefield Analyst __
 * You will research and identify **three** of the major battles of the American Revolution from a British or an American point of view.
 * However, the catch is you //cannot// pick all three battles that were victories for your chosen country.
 * Write a summary of the battles, and make sure to include important information such as the leaders, number of troops, and whether it was a win or loss.
 * You will then compare the advantages and disadvantages from //your side// of the battle in the summary.

__Commentator __


 * Choose the **four** most important causes of the war. For example, the different Acts passed by the British.
 * Write a short paragraph on the causes.
 * Also, choose and identify **four** of the most important people of the war from your chosen country. (//Who had the biggest impact?//) They could have been generals, patriots, colonists, ect.
 * Include a biography in one or two paragraphs and a picture of the people you have chosen.

__Historical Reporter __
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Create and demonstrate a timeline of the **15** most important events or battles before, during and after the war.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Include a description for each event chosen.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Also add pictures! They can be illustrations or pictures you have found online. (I will share websites that you can use on this page below).
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">These events should be picked using your own opinion of importance.
