teams of 3-4 students, each taking one of the following Roles:
All members of the team
will be involved in the research and presentation processes. Getting Started You will begin by
examining the rationale for including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson
in the new monument. This will give you some idea of what to look at when
examining the rest of the Presidents. The TOP TEN Divide the top ten list
among the team members and separately research their records and
accomplishments. Look for any special accomplishments that stand out in your
mind(s) as being important. Make a list of the top accomplishments of each to
use in your selection process. Research Websites Here
are some excellent sites, but you may use others if you chose
Narrow it Down After you have completed
you preliminary research, the team needs to come together and narrow the list
down to four. You all need to agree on who they are AND be able to justify them
over the others on the TOP TEN list. Justification Each of you needs to do
in-depth research on one your ‘Final Four’. You need to find evidence
supporting your selections. Create a word document with links to your
resources, your notes, and images you may want to use in your PowerPoint
presentation. The Presentation Each team member will
create a 2-3 slide presentation about the President he/she has researched.
Use the Evaluation Rubric as a guide. After all
have completed their slide show, they will need to be combined into one
complete presentation by copying and pasting slides from the various
presentations into one main one. You will give your oral
presentation in front of the entire class. All members need to participate
equally in the presentation. After the oral presentation, you will need to
