May I Present . . . An important Historical Figure
INTRODUCTION:
Your teacher wants to publish a biography book to include five of the most important figures from the America's Past. You are amongst her best pupils. Therefore, you have been selected to assist her in researching these important figures from America's past. If your famous figure is selected to be included in the book, you will automatically get an A for Social Studies grade for the quarter. |
TASK
It is your job to research a specific individual and give a presentation of your discovery to your teacher. After researching your assigned famous person, you will create a PowerPoint presentation detailing your individual's life and accomplishments for your teacher's book. You will try to "sell" their information to your teacher for inclusion in her new book. |
PROCESS
Your teacher will put twelve famous persons' name in a bowl where you can randomly draw a name of the famous person to research. Below are links to all twelve famous persons up for consideration. Select your famous person by following the link below their image and start your research. You will need a research questionnaire to help you collect the information. Once finished, you will organize the information in a Google Presentation with six slides and one source slide.
