Mr.+Henderson

I have attached the assingment sheet for the Black History Project that we will be working on in class. In addition, we will be viewing the short videos on History.com with a journal entry and short discussion following each video. I will take pictures soon and send them to you if you want to put them on wikispace.

Black History Project

(150 points) **__Project __**: Students will research an African American who has made a significant impact throughout American history. There is no specific time period that the individual or the topic has to be from, but it is at my discretion as to whom or what is appropriate.

**__Assignment __****: **


 * Students will be able to work individually, or in pairs of __no more than 2__. However, choose wisely, because there will be no excuses on the due date if your project is not completed. If you choose to work with a partner, you should work with somebody who will do an equal amount of work for the project and isn’t going to have you complete the entire project. If you choose to work with a partner, you will have until February 24th, to decide to work alone, if not you are stuck with whomever you chose.

· The timeline should list significant achievements in the individual’s life as well as important events in the United States and the World at that time.  · Timelines should be on the poster and NOT on a separate sheet of paper.
 * All students will have to __complete the 4 steps__ listed below, in order for your __project to be considered complete on the due date.__
 * 1) All individuals or pairs will turn in 1 poster. (Again, a full size **poster board** is required).
 * 2) All students will have to complete a timeline with significant events that happened with the individual or topic. (I will give you examples as to what I expect)

§ Your presentation should be done using note cards as your presentation tool. You are not allowed to print of material and highlight information. You will NOT be permitted to print out information from the computer and read me something from Wikipedia. § If you need to speak to me about presenting your project after school, come and see me after school. However, simply not wanting to talk in front of class is not considered a legitimate reason for presenting after school.
 * 1) All students will turn in a Bibliography that will list the 5 sources used in gathering information about your chosen topic. You must have **__3 book sources__** and at most **__2 internet sources__** (__If you are working in a pair, you must have 8 total sources, 5 books and 3 internet__). The bibliography must be done in **MLA format**. I will give you information on how to correctly complete your bibliography.
 * 2) All pairs or individuals will have to complete an **oral presentation** in front of class. Yes, it will happen this time. For an individual this will be **2:30-5 minutes**, and a pair will be **5-10 minutes**. I will have the stop watch on presentation days. For those of you working in pairs, it would be to your advantage to decide which aspect of your topic you will speak about, because I am not going to hear the same information repeated by both people in the group.

Ø **Each day late will equal 10 points off of your total grade **<span style="font-family: &#39;Bradley Hand ITC&#39;;">.
 * <span style="0in: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: &#39;Bradley Hand ITC&#39;; tabstops: list .5in; tabstops: list .5in;">The **__DUE DATE__**, for this project is **__March 5, 2010__.** I will set aside some days in the library, and also in the computer lab to assist you in your research; however, it should be known that all students are advised to take advantage of the Public Library or your time after school. If you are working with a partner, it would be wise of you to exchange numbers so that you can set up how you will complete your project.


 * <span style="0in: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: &#39;Bradley Hand ITC&#39;; tabstops: list .5in; tabstops: list .5in;">As always, if you need to use the computer lab after school, to type up your bibliography, please feel free to see me as I will be more than happy to assist you. However, the day before your project is due, is not the best time to ask for assistance, or ask for an extension on your project.
