- Using the art materials, dress the doll to resemble the influential black history maker of your choice.
- Use a black marker to write the person’s name across the top of the two adjoining sides.
- On the left inside wall of the box, draw a scene from the person’s life.
- On the box’s right inside wall, list the person’s major achievements.
- Cut a V-shaped notch in the top center of each adjoining wall. Rest the stick in the notches.
- Use paper scraps to make cutouts of three items that represent three of your person’s character traits. For example, you might make cutouts of cherries, a boa, and the White House to represent George Washington’s determination and service to the United States. Hang the cutouts from the stick.
- Write your name on the floor of the box as shown (attached JPG file).
- Stand or seat the doll in the corner of the box.
