Eight groups-each group needs to research one or two?   You need to research your person, present in a unique way to teach us about your person… You should make sure you have several reliable sources.  At this point we expect multimedia projects but please don't waste paper on posters where you glue pictures from the internet.  This is a good opportunity to do a prezi or something new.  Write a poem-do an interview-be creative...
1. focus questions answered
2. Bibliography - three sources of information-print, web, encylopedia properly recorded and in final copy.  Make sure you cite images.
3.  Notes-
4. write up-
5. multimedia-be orginal
6. presentation-eg. eye contact, visuals should illustrate your talk-e.g. don't talk and then show a power point of the same content -do it together, be prepared, be professional!
