  -Option 2: Students make a neat and interesting poster about a significant figure in Black History with key facts.  Student's will also write a TPEQEA paragraph about why they think the person was significant. 
  
  
  -Option 3: Students will make a poster about important legislation (or an important court case) for Civil Rights, and a TPEQEA paragraph explaining why it was important to them. 
  
  
  -Option 4: Get approval from your teacher (potential choices: journal entry, a poster advocating for Black History Month or Civil Rights) - anything they choose will need a writing component.
