You have now been divided into teams of two and it is time to become researchers and biographers! You will need to print off the following forms for your team. The forms are the research form, the biographer form, and the rating scale form. Don't forget to include the rating scale in your presentation.
The online resources are bookmarked below. There is also a list of books available in our classroom. You may also use library resources.
Please let me know if you are unable to find a topic you are interested in. I can help you find the resources you need for your project.
Make sure you utilize the different tools that are available on World Book Online. There is even a read to me button, if you find the material too difficult to understand.
After you have your information on your forms, your team will want to use an organizer to help you get the research portion and the biographer portion of your project together. You may use Smart Ideas, or another organizer of your choice.
