Activity 6: Influential Figures (GLEs: 65, 66, 72, 73, 77)
CC: Create a wall of early influential figures. Have students work in pairs and select from the following list a figure for which they will create a trading card. The trading card will include a picture and contributions of that figure. Each trading card will, on one side, analyze how this person influenced or changed the course of Louisiana’s history. On the other side, students will write as if they are that person, or are quoting that person, in reference to the causes, effects, or impact of a historical event that occurred in Louisiana during that person's lifetime. Have each pair of students present their trading cards for the class.
