- scroll down, find the "B" section, 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).
