- Today students split their six areas of research between partners and spent the hour collecting research for their project
- Students were given a daily work grade based on both the quality and quantity of the research they found (with source info). Although they are working with a partner, they received individual grades today for their work.
Project Expectations
- Select your colony and partner (completed last time)
- Research the following components:
- daily life practices (pictures or evidence to support this)
- leaders within the colony
- important literature (must share some of this)
- modern day transition (what it looks like today/ before and after)
- video clip not to exceed 2 minutes
- Prepare a 5-7 minute partner presentation that covers all of the above with emphasis on “American” theme and how the literature reflected who they were and why the colony was established
- Presentation must use technology and must include visual aids and handouts
- Computer lab scheduled for Sept. 4th 5th, 6th, & 9th to assist you in this project* (the first lab is for research; the second lab is for organizing info into a presentation)
- Presentations will begin on Sept. 10-13th
