VA SOL 2.11 The student will identify George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller, Jackie Robinson, and Martin Luther King, Jr., as Americans whose contributions improved the lives of other Americans.
In order to get to know these important people a little better, I created a design brief that would lead them into a research project on one of these people. After finding five facts about what their person is known for, the students will create a medal of accomplishment in honor of their person. In the end, the students would present their medals and information about their person in front of the class. Here is the brief:

This made finding the right things, while still designing the project themselves easier.
I created a medal that I would present George Washington with as an example:
