The List of Heroes (?) & Their Advocates

__Directions (again) __ (2) Here you'll see the list of possible heroes. Open your instruction packet to the "**Step One**" heading, and follow the instructions listed there- your first job is to research some of the listed heroes and to submit a typed proposal which lists your top 4 hero choices, as well as an explanation for WHY you want to research each particular person. Click to download the proposal template. Save this proposal file in your student folder, and then print it out when you've completed your paragraph for each of your 4 choices. Remember that you must have at least ONE source documented for each hero in your proposal.

 * IConn Connecticut's Research Database
