Biography+Project

=Biography Project=

For this project, you will pick one person who lived between the years 1750 to 1980 to do a biography on. It can be any person you want, as long as the content of the biography will be appropriate to share with the class. There will be a few different options for this project:

Option 1:
You need to write this 800 word essay in a google document. In this essay I want you to give an account of this person's life and explain why they are important. If you need an example on how to start a paper off, then go to Unit 6 projects and there is an introduction example. The paper should focus on giving the reader an overall summary of the important things about your person. Here are some questions to help:

-What time period did this person live in? -Where is this person from? -What did this person do to become famous? -Is this person a "good' Person or are they known as a "bad" person? -What were some of the most important things to happen during this person's life?

Option 2:
You will do this part of the project in either google presentation or keynote. You are going to make a 10 slide presentation on your person's life. -All pictures and sources must cited on the works cited page. -The slides should have important/essential information, NOT PARAGRAPHS! -**Do not copy paste!** -There should be at least one picture on each page. -Your slides should go in sequence of when events happened.

Option 3:
You must create a five minute video that tells us about your person. **All sources and pictures must be cited at the end of the movie.** The format of the video must follow these guidelines: -The film should be a timeline of important events that go in order of- early life, mid-life, later life, and legacy (what is remembered about the person). -We should get an overall good lesson about this person's whole life by watching this short video. -You can do some re-enactment but at least half of the video must be real pictures and text.

Option 4:
You can do a Prezi following the guidelines of option 2. You must have the same amount of content as option two will have.
