Students received the information on their first quarter project today in class. This project will count as ten percent of their first quarter average.

The students are to create a timeline of events during the Revolutionary War period. The timeline must contain at least ten events and have illustrations. Students were given a handout of the events to help in their research. The project is due FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2010. I will not accept late projects.
