  1. I think I will learn about where and when William Penn born and where and when he died. Also, I think I will learn about important events William Penn was involved in. I don't think William Penn is connected with anybody else in this time period. I hope to learn about the things I think I will learn about.

  6. The person that I've chosen is Betsy Ross and I would really like to find out why she sewed the American flag. Also when she was born and maybe her family. I know she has 3 husbands and five daughters but I'd like to learn more about them. Also if she ever knew any other famous people. I would love to be an expert on Betsy Ross when I'm done.

  7. The person I am researching is Abigail Adams. I might learn about her of course and maybe even her husband John Adams and her son John Quincy Adams because they are connected to her in the same time period. I hope to find out about her childhood and her adulthood when she became famous.I also hope to learn about important events in her life. I hope I learn about all those things during this project.

  8. Well, I have Pocahontas as the person I must research about and I hope that I may learn more about her life than just what you may have seen in the Disney Princess Movie. I might learn about her tribe, customs, family, accomplishments, and most of all, why she is so important. Well, I know that she is married to a man named John Rolfe and was good friends with John Smith as a young girl. I hope to find out much, MUCH more about her because she seems very interesting!

  9. I am researching Anne Hutchinson, and I think she is connected with a lot of people I am familiar with because I looked her up in a social studies book and I saw a lot of familiar names after I read about her. I think (and hope) that I will find out more about why she is famous. Also, I hope to find out about when she lived.

    For this project I will be reasearching Paul Revere. I have a feeling I will be learning about "The Midnight Ride". I am very excited to be doing this project because my sister did something like this when she was in 6th grade [but now she is in 8th], and she also did Paul Revere just like me so I will have lots of information about Paul.
