Today, students turned in their pen pal letters. We reviewed the research questions that we'll use to collect information on our notable European. These research questions are:
1. Who is this person? What are the 5 main and most important facts that one should know about this person's life?
2. In what way(s) did this person challenge authority, speak out for injustice or stand up for change during his/her lifetime?
3. How is the world in some way different as a result of this person's actions?
Miss Devine explained that students would be using the index card method for taking notes and that students would research using encyclopedias today. Bibliography collectors practiced citing an encyclopedia source and then we headed to the library to collect information using encyclopedias. Groups turned in the research they collected at the and of class.
Students ought to remember who they're researching- Lech Walesa, Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton, Margaret Thatcher, Oskar Schindler, Joan of Arc, Mikhail Gorbachev, Catherine II, Maria Montessori, or Mother Teresa. Students also need to remember their role in the group as well- bibliography collector, report typer, role player or presentation leader.
Homework: Bring in index cards for your group to use if you have some at home. If you would like extra credit, the thank you note for the Holocaust speaker is due tomorrow.
