Assignment Specifications and Rubric
When we are finished with this project, we will have created (as a class) an encyclopedia about ordinary people involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
Your individual part:
· Write up a page (use template) of your partner’s report of the pages they read. For example, if he/she read about Jacqueline Wilson, you will write the encyclopedia page about her. That way, you will be checking your partner’s understanding of what he/she read and also be learning about that person yourself.
