Biography Research Project

Post date: Sep 20, 2012 3:21:31 PM

Attached is an explanation of the biography research project students will be working on at home to answer the essential question: How are courageous acts revealed in informational texts.

This assignment will be due on October 10th. Students will have to read a biography and answer the questions in the attached document. The answers will be included in a Keynote/Powerpoint presentation, so the responses can be typed into a document, written onto a separate piece of paper or in bullet points--whatever will help the students put the information into their presentation.

Suggested Timeline to complete assignment by October 10th:

1. By Friday, September 28: Finish reading at least half of your biography. Take notes and try to answer the project questions while you are reading.

2. By Friday, October 5: Finish reading the entire biography. Continue to take notes to help you answer the questions.

3. Week of October 8th: Organize your notes and type up your answers to the questions (in bullets or complete sentences) so that you can easily transfer the information into your Powerpoint presentation.
