INSTRUCTIONS:
2. Read through the internet files linked to your
group to find information that will help you answer your questions. You may
also use the book If You Lived in Colonial Times by Ann McGovern,
Mary Geddy's Day or Samuel Eaton's Day. If you know
another place in the library or in the classroom that can help you research
your question, please let me know and we can explore it further!
You will
print out the internet files by
copying and pasting the important parts into Appleworks
(for the I-Mac) or Microsoft Word (for the PC). Do not throw these
printed files away! You will pass them in to me at the end of this project!
3.Bookmark
the URL (the address) of the
Webpage you find your information from so you can quickly go back to it if you
need to.
4.Write a one page newspaper article (using a
graphic
organizer and the
checklist to
help you) that
informs the reader about the information you found throughout your research. Don't forget to use lots
of details and write down your information as if you were actually a person
living in colonial times!
5.Using either Appleworks or Microsoft Word,
type your one page article and save it under your name. Make sure you have a
title for your article and the author's name (your name!) at the top of your article.
6.Work on the business card, illustration or advertisement that goes along with your article. You will find more detailed directions about these three choices by clicking on each one!
7. I will be grading your project by using a rubric. Look at the rubric to see what you will be graded on!
Now, click on your group to begin your journey!
