Explanation:

This task involves creating a poster about Frederick Douglass, an important historical figure. It requires researching his life - name, lifespan, events, locations, and quotes, and then presenting this information creatively with drawings. History is the most relevant sub - field as it focuses on past events and figures.

Answer:

To create the Frederick Douglass mini - poster:

1. His given name and lifespan (4 points): Research and write Frederick Douglass' given name (Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was his birth name) and the years he lived (c. February 1818 - February 20, 1895).
2. 10 - event timeline (10 points): Compile a list of 10 significant events in his life such as his escape from slavery in 1838, publication of his first autobiography "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" in 1845, etc.
3. Something that stands out (2 points): Write a complete sentence about a notable aspect of his life, e.g., "His powerful oratory skills in the fight against slavery were remarkable."
4. A place he lived (3 points): For example, he lived in Rochester, New York. He moved there in 1847 to start his newspaper "The North Star". It was a center of the abolitionist movement.
5. Two quotes (8 points): Select quotes like "Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave." Explain its meaning as knowledge gives one the awareness and power to resist oppression, and choose it because it highlights the importance of education in the fight against slavery. Another could be "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong." Explain it as a statement about moral integrity and choose it for its emphasis on ethical action.
6. Three detailed drawings (9 points): Draw images related to his life such as a slave ship to represent his early life in slavery, a printing press for his work as a publisher, and a podium for his oratory.
7. Overall creative and artistic quality (4 points): Use colors, layout, and design elements to make the poster visually appealing and engaging.
