Using KnightLab’s StoryMapJS, we’re going to be making a narrative map. Here are the parameters:

• Pick one (1) person from your war that you want to follow around through his or her experiences in the war. You may pick anyone you like that relates to the topic you chose, though consider whether you’ll be able to find enough information about your person. Only one person is off-limits: George Washington.
• Research the person’s experiences in the war, and come up with between 5 and 20 places that he or she went to during the war. Make sure you also write down the significance of those places!
• Using StoryMapJS, map the journey of your person.
• Embed your StoryMap into a blog post. In that blog post, also tell me why you chose that person and what you learned about your war from following him or her. Also include a bibliography of the sources you used, both primary and secondary, to find out about your person.
• Submit through our Creative Project submission form!

Here’s a tutorial on using StoryMap from KnightLab.
