They will choose an individual they are interested in learning about; conduct extensive research on the pioneer; study their mannerisms; style of clothing; hair style; overall appearance; speech and voice (if a video is available). The students will immerse themselves in the historical accounts, accomplishments and contributions of the pioneer; and prepare a 3-4 minute oratorical presentation portraying the individual, which will end with a statement proclaiming… I AM!! ……….

The students’ oratorical presentations will be videotaped and posted on the website.
