Agenda for 12/16

1. Today you must "lock-in" your groups and topic.

2. I will be meeting with each student/group to talk briefly about the topic you have chosen.

3. If you have not chosen your topic by the time you are called to meet with me, we will be choosing one for you from this list of important American leaders.

4. Some tips about choosing your topic. The NHD Sample Topics list.

5. Begin initial research. Follow these steps
  • Open NHD - Assignment #3
  • Go HERE - scroll down and click on the Britannica Online School Addition. Find, and read, the article about your leader. If you cannot find an article there about your leader, you must find another article in an academic and reliable website about your leader. Summarize the most important information about your leader, in 6-8 sentences. Provide as many specifics as possible.
  • Find at least 3 other websites (that are academic and reliable), that provide a good overview of your leader and his or her impact. Provide a short 4-5 sentence summary of the new information you find on each website.  Be sure to look for information on what your leader did (narrow focus) as well as his or her legacy (how did the leader effect history in the long term).
  • Due next class: Wed. 12/18
7. Start your internet research for "Assignment #3" here:
