You will present yours on your assigned dates.

1. Name and explain an event that happened between the years 1914 - 2014 on the same calendar day that you are presenting - e.g. if you present April 29 then you do a History Minute for an event that happened on an April 29 from 1914 until 2014

2. Show a video (YouTube) of five minutes or less on your event.

3. 8 - 10 dot-jot facts of your event (numbers, stats, location, etc.)
