Project Requirements

Choose a famous person that is from Texas to research and learn more about. Have 2-3 burning questions to guide your search. Make sure to also get some basic biographical information (such as what they look like, when and where they were born and died-if applicable) as well as why they are famous. Create a "Wanted" poster for your person explain why they might be "wanted." Wanted posters were used in the old days to help catch criminals that were on the loose. Be creative, use your research to create your poster, and make sure the picture of your person (hand-drawn or copied) is no smaller than 1/3 of your poster and no larger than 1/2.
