Betsy Ross

2. Steps for the project - SUBJECT
Pick a historical person who impacted the Revolution from the list (in some circumstances, one may be assigned for you)
COVER
A. Draw or trace a picture of the person. (No printouts.)
B. Include the TIME heading, and a year important to the person (Pick a year between ).
C. Include a background drawing, such as:
- a map (battlefield map, Colonial map, etc?)
- a picture of an important building. (Independence Hall? Valley Forge cabin?)
- picture which helps tell part of your story (Charging soldiers, Paul Revere’s ride, etc)
The cover of your magazine should look
very similar to a real TIME magazine.

6. PARAGRAPH FOR COVER CAPTION -
Describe the cover of your magazine. Who is the person on the cover of your magazine, why, what is s/he doing? This information goes on the back of the cover. It could also go on the first page.
FEATURE ARTICLE FOR PERSON OF THE YEAR –
Explain why your person is Time’s Person of the Year. The story should be two full pages long, typed, and double spaced. The story is about your person in biographical terms. Your story must include proof of successful research. Your story must include at least 3 three reasons why your subject is Person of the Year and the facts to back up the reasons. But nothing after the year you have picked! George Washington died in 1799 – but they didn’t know that in 1776!
