US History 10 – Epic American Project

(1)I chose to create my speech and poster on Ruby Bridges. For this project, we were expected to create a poster and speech to persuade the audience for why your American is the most EPIC American. I started with researching everything about Ruby Bridges and then from there I was able to create my poster on Google Slides, and my speech outline. After my speech outline was complete, I wrote the actual speech and practiced many times until I felt comfortable with giving the speech. (2) I felt the most success when I created my poster for this project. I felt like I had very good in-depth information, and I was really happy with how the overall poster looked. (3) For me, the hardest part of this project was creating the outline. I was struggling deciding between the most important points/subjects/topics that I wanted to talk about. (4) This project connects to Creativity from the 6C’s because I had to construct a very creative poster about Ruby Bridges to attract the audience. (5) This project gave me a better understanding of people who shaped society today, people like Ruby Bridges. She changed the way the school systems were forever, and I am very grateful to be able to attend an integrated school, just like every other school in America.
