Listed below, are options for your summer assignment.  You must complete a minimum of THREE of the assignments listed.

Option 1:

“Most Historically Significant Individuals That No One Knows” Project.

• Choose five individuals whose contributions to American history and culture have been considerable but about whom very little is known.  Avoid the obvious—no presidents, no first ladies!
• For each person you choose complete the following tasks:
• Explain who they are and what time period they lived in
• What did they do?
• Why do you think they are significant in U.S. History?

• Create a poster, a PowerPoint, or a film that presents your choices, fills in the little known details of their lives, and explains the significance of their contributions.

• You might want to focus on an area of history interesting to you and not dead center in the mainstream—medicine, engineering, art, music, video games, etc.

2.  U.S. History through Comic Books (or other popular culture media):

• Choose one Comic Book Superhero (or other approved cultural icon) and create an illustrated timeline showing his or her development and how it has reflected the historical events of the time.
• Provide a brief history of the superhero/popular culture icon
• Explain how the superhero/popular culture icon was impacted by the course of historical events
• Explain if/how the superhero/popular culture icon impacted U.S. history
• Why are comic books/popular culture icons significant in U.S. History

• Create a poster, a PowerPoint, or a film that presents your superhero, fills in the little known details of their lives, and explains the significance of historical events on their development and storytelling.

• Track the history of the superhero through the decades: 1930s-present

• Significant Seven: the seven most historically significant superheroes include:
• Superman (June 1938)
• Batman (May 1939)

• Spider-Man (August 1962)
• Captain America (March 1941)
