Resilient Person Project

The great American novelist, Ernest Hemingway, once wrote, "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." We've looked at a number of examples... now, it's your turn to present an example of a person who embodies resilience.

Your task: choose on one person - historical or current (no fictional characters).

Then, do some research and answer the following questions about this person:

1. What was the adversity that this person had to overcome? Describe the hardships that they faced.
2. Describe how this person found strength again. How did they recover and bounce back?
3. What character traits do they have that are admirable?
4. What sort of support did they have from the people around them?
5. What strengths did they gain?
6. Why should they be an inspiration to others?

Now, take your answers and your research and design a VISUAL presentation that you can share with your teacher, or the whole class. Your presentation could be a...

• Poster
• Google Doc
• Infographic https://piktochart.com/
• Glogster
• Powerpoint
• Video
• Prezi
• Animation
• or your own idea

Each presentation must include at least 5 visuals (images or graphics or video).

Marks will be awarded, as follows:

Detail/answers to questions - _____/20

Relevance of images - _____/10
Overall project design/creativity - _____/10
