Project 3 - Storybook

Create an illustrated storybook of one of the assigned sections below.  These illustrated stories need to provide as much detail as possible to fully get across the story of the section or sections you are assigned to depict.  Minor details also need to be included to help put major facts into context and help show how one event led to another.
Moreover, your presentations need to emphasize, “Why does history remember your section?” and “How did this section begin, end, and all the steps in between that led from beginning to end?”  
 
The following websites can give you an idea of what a historical illustrated storybook looks like.  Click “Look Inside” on the image of the book to see a few sample pages.  These are VERY detailed.  I expect at least HALF as much writing as you see on these pages, but you will need at least a MINUMUM of 10 story pages to get your story across.
           Sample 1
           Sample 2

Requirements:
  • title page
  • 10 story page minimum not including title page (paper or pages on a word document)
    • at least three (3) sentences per page
  • Color illustration (drawn or pasted) on each page
    • stick figures are not acceptable for drawn illistrations
  • Story from beginning to end (write these on a 4-5th grade level)
  • works cited (bibliography) at the end (at least 3 separate sources)
  • PowerPoint Stories are Unacceptable!
