Process
- First
you will be
assigned your group of 3 students (by
your teacher).
- Once you have your group, you
will be given your
historical figure- but first you have to find this person in our
classroom! Each group will be given an index card with 3 sets of
clues describing something about their historical person. Follow
the clues and they will lead you to the location of the name of your
historical figure!
- Now that you know your "person of
interest", you will
need to develop a graphic organizer.
- We will work over the next few
weeks in the Computer
Lab to do research on the Internet. Bring your graphic organizer and
extra paper to record facts.
- Remember Internet Rules we
discussed in class.
Please always include the website you got your information from.
See Resources
listed below.
- We will also visit our school
library to conduct
alternate research.
- Each group will create a poster
of their historical
figure. Be as creative as possible with pictures and descriptions
since you will be presenting to the class.
- It is important to use the Rubric
(Evaluation tab) as a
guideline in planning your research and working on your project.
- Each group will do a presentation
to the class
displaying their poster and share interesting facts about their
historical figure.
- On the day of the presentation,
one person in each
group may dress up as your historical person with all 3 group members
contributing to the costume! It is important to plan this a week before
the presentation to gather all materials for costume.
Most
of all
HAVE FUN traveling back in time and exploring
your historical figure! The more you put into this project, the more
you and our class will get out of it!
