LM HERO STORYBOARD Links to some sources. [] []


 * NOTES**:


 * Paragraph 1--Intro to your 19th Century Hero **


 * 1) Start with personal hero sentence- //In a time of racistism, sexistism, and slavery, the whole country just couldn't agree with eachother and give the Americans the equal rights they diserved. This looks like a job for... THE GRIMKE// //SISTERS!//
 * 2) Explain- //Many people think that a hero is usually a muscular guy/girl who fights monsters and wears weird costumes with ugly looking tights. But being a hero is not just fighting the evil koopa and saving the princess, Most real life heros of the 19th century fought the slaveowners so that they can give equal rights to the women, African Americans, and slaves who didn't have that many rights in the 19th century. Just like Sarah and Angelina Grimke.//
 * 3) Name of your hero- Sarah(eldest) and Angelina Girmk`e
 * 4) Summary of why they are a hero- They stood up against racistism, sexistism, and slavery. not to mention they were the first women to speak out.
 * 5) Thesis "In this essay I will prove that these sisters were heros because they gave more rights to African Americans and women. Also wanted to free the slaves.
 * SOURCES-Wikipedia

 * Paragraph 5-- ** **The other side of the story**


 * 1) Who would have not thought your person was not a hero?-//Catharine Beecher would not have thought the sisters were heros because Beecher thought that women shouldn't speak out to the public and shouldn't have more rights. She was a woman herself though...//

A legacy is something you leave behind that will benefit others-perhaps those yet unborn. How did the person’s actions benefit all those who came after them.This is your conclusion based on your research. It needs to reflect your research and not be an "off the street" answer. //The Grimke sisters made a really big difference in our country. Who would have thought that two women could win the rights for women and slaves, esspecially in a time where women weren't as important as men.//
 * Paragraph 6-- **** What is the person's legacy? **

Identify a 21st century problem. If your person was alive today what advice would they have for you on how to deal with the problem. This is your conclusion based on your research. It needs to reflect your research and not be an "off the street" answer. //The// sisters would be happy that there is no segregation now, and that we have an African American President. They will also be happy that women have many jobs and that a woman ran for President.
 * Paragraph 7-- **** What advice would they have for today’s youth for dealing with a current issue? **
