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:
