Answer 1

We've all seen those magazine covers proclaiming someone to be Person of the Year or Most Influential Person of the Decade. Now it's your turn! In this activity, you will be choosing the most influential monarch that reigned between the 16th and 18th centuries. You will then create a magazine cover and write a feature article about him or her.
