Unit 3 Project PRESENTATION-  Now put together a

presentation that you will give to the rest of class about this

person’s life.  Kind of like a Eulogy explaining why this person

lived a life that was important.  This is due on the day that we

talk about your person in the book. 

-You may have already researched your specific individual and are ready to put together a presentation so that the rest of the class can learn more about this famous person.  You will be gathering and organizing the information that you have already learned and will be putting it into a presentation that will be given to the rest of class. 


During this semester we will spend the Block in the Computer Lab putting together the handout for your presentation.  The requirements for the handout are listed below in Criteria #2.  This is the only class time that you will receive to complete the handout, so get crackin’.  YOUR Presentation will be given on the day that we discuss you person in the textbook.  

-Below you will find the information explaining how you are graded for your presentation.  Remember this is worth a lot of points, so make sure that you are prepared so that you may receive the best grade possible.
·        Criteria #1- Your presentation has a structure to it, transitions are used, and it is the appropriate length of time.
·        Criteria #2- The presenter had evidence of research (put on your handout), a quality visual aid (posterboard, etc.) and a handout for the rest of the class that included some notes about your person, pictures, and review questions.  
·        Criteria #3- The information that was presented was factual, or based on fact, and was relevant to the subject of World History.
·        Criteria #4- You used 4 or more sources in helping you to gain information for presenting a biography of your assigned individual. (You may include your Textbook as a Source) These must be put on your handout!
