 TEACHER’S GUIDE
This project can be completed in a few different ways. You can provide your students
with the information to fill out their brochures, or have them find the information
through Internet research. If your students are inexperienced with Internet research,
guide them through the process by projecting a search that you lead. I have
included a poster with my favorite history websites for students. These will give a great
background on the topic, but additional researching for vocabulary terms may be
necessary.

To print on both sides, choose just the two pages of the brochure. Click the box to
print on both sides, then make sure to select “flip on short edge.” If you are creating
this foldable to include in an interactive notebook, a blank pocket has been provided
– 2 per page to save paper. These brochures can also be organized in a 6 x 9
envelope.

Colored pencils are better than markers for this activity to avoid ink coming through
the other side.

For the individual terms, have students give a brief definition of each.

In the “Who’s Who” section, students should write a short biography of each figure.

A bibliography recording page has been included. This can also be folded into thirds
and slipped into a pocket if you’re using this project with an interactive notebook.

EXTEND THIS LESSON: Find YouTube videos for each of the vocabulary terms and
historical figures.
