Here is your opportunity to pick up some of those points you may have lost over the grading period. Because there was no “official” American flag when the war began and much of the fighting was done by local militias, there were many different flags flown during the Revolutionary War. For a maximum of thirty points of extra credit, you can recreate one of these flags. The flag should be poster-sized, suitable for display, and made out of fabric, felt, poster board, paper, etc. Along with your flag will need to include a 1 page report which includes an explanation of the symbols/colors on the flag, what group or person flew it, in what battles it was flown, is there any proof/evidence that it was actually flown, etc. The report should be 1 page, 1 inch margins, 12 point font, and double spaced. You also need to cite your sources (refer to your student handbook for formatting). This will be due on (or before) the day we test over the Revolutionary War .
