ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Students will learn the basic ways to complete internet-based research. Students will focus on a famous historical figure and complete research about that person’s life, and a significant event during that time in history. Students will be required to create a summary project based on that event and that person. Students will review and comment on work created by their peers in class.
STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!
STUDENTS MUST START BY READING ALL DIRECTIONS ON CLASS WEBSITE! Students will use the resources in class to create a Facebook-Style page for a famous historical figure. The page created must center around a specific event from that person’s life, and research must be done to describe the person, event, and other people who would have been involved!
Today you will begin to build a body of knowledge about a Famous Historical Figure of your choosing. You may not choose anyone that someone else is working on. Please (Click Here) for BIOGRAPHY.com's list from A to Z of famous people.
All selections are subject to approval from MR. S.
You must list at least THREE (3) SOURCES for the research and find pictures of your person as well. YOUR SOURCES CAN NOT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
WIKIANSWERS, WIKIPEDIA, or directly reference any Search Engine (GOOGLE, YAHOO, etc.)
I suggest you do your basic research at Biography.com, but you must find 3 additional sources of information and list them on your final project. Once your initial research is finished, I will show everyone the Powerpoint Template in class and teach you how to fill it out. You will be PRESENTING YOUR FACEBOOK PROJECT TO THE CLASS when it is completed, so find as much information as possible on your person!
Good Luck!
Mr. S
