Socials 8 – Biography year end project

The list of possible historical figures will be posted on MOODLE.

This is in an individual project where you choose how you will show your learning, but more importantly, you will learn how to write a properly formatted citation list for this project.

After you read through the list of available historical figures…please email me (pkwonjo@gmail.com) your first choice and alternate two choices, just in case your first choice is taken.

See you in the Learning Commons on Tuesday, May 22!

Hint: you may want to finish off your notes on Chapter 8 and start Chapter 9 if you have not done so!

Spend some time reflecting on the videos we’ve watched and what you’ve learned and discussed on the First Nations.

Step 1:  On a sheet of paper brainstorm out the following:  What is new? shocking?  What did you not know?  You want to get as much as possible out onto your sheet.  List, mind map, use point form…

Step 2:  Afterwards you want to take a look at:  What is interesting?  You are narrowing down your brainstorming activity to what you find interesting.  You may or may not find that there is a pattern emerging from the brainstorming activity.

Step 3:  The next step is to come up with — what do you want to know?  learn more about?  See if you can formulate 3-5 well formed questions on the topics you are interested in.
