We will be playing the 3x5 note card review game! Look over all of your material. The winner will receive a prize.

After finding out who the famous person on your back is, each student must make a Powerpoint or iMovie to display and present to the class on Tuesday.

If you do not have Microsoft Powerpoint or iMovie, visit these sites and download them. If not feel free to use the library or classroom computers.

 * Tuesday December 8, 2009: Individual Presentation**

Each student will individually present their Famous Person in History in the form of a powerpoint or video to the class today. Each presentation should be no longer than 5 minutes. Keep each presentation brief, although make sure to cover all of the important events in their lifetime.

Do not forget to bring in the rubric I emailed out to everyone. (Your rubric should look like the image below)




 * Wednesday December 9, 2009:**

Today, we will have an interactive class. We will have a large timeline drawn on the whiteboard. Each student should list their famous individuals birthday, most well known accomplishments, and death.

All students must participate and copy down the timeline. This time line will come in handy for your final exam and also for the group project coming in later in the week.


 * Thursday December 10, 2009:**

Each student will get into groups of four today. Each group will be responsible for creating a report combining each student's famous people and a summary of each using GoogleDocs. This report should be at least 2 pages long. Make sure to check your spelling and grammer. In addition, each group must have a citation page (MLA Style.)

This report must be turned in on Friday December 11, 2009.


 * Friday December 11, 2009:

Group reports must be turned in, in the beginning of class. **

To finish the review week of Famous People in History, each student must complete a Digital Scavenger Hunt. The Scavenger hunt will be taken in class as a fun activity to see how much information each student has retained throughout the week/semester.
