Activity 2

A number of famous Black Americans have been honored with United States Postage Stamps.
I would like you to use a digital camera and have your partner take a picture. You will then
need to upload the picture onto the computer and print your picture out. After your
picture is printed paste onto construction paper and create your own postage stamp.
I want to see things that you are interested in on your stamp
Hand into teacher after completed.

Activity 3

From the list below you will pick a Famous Black American to write a report on (Needs to be Okayed by teacher
before you begin research). Read the Evaluation Rubric below to find out what needs to be included in your
report. I have provided you with a list of websites that you may use to find information. Websites are not the
only source of information that you are allowed to use. Encyclopedias, books, magazines and other sources
can be used. This report will require a couple of drafts so I will provide time in class everyday to work on it,
but work does need to be completed at home as well.
