The assignment

Choose an person, place, or thing to research.  Use at least four sources—both electronic and print resources—to research all nine areas of the visual representation; each must be on the Works Cited page, and all but the Title, Life Span, Photo, and Graphic must be internally documented.

(Please refer to the Teacher Handout and template page for detailed information about your assignment.)

Information needed

Teacher Handout

All boxes except the title, Time Span  will be written in complete sentences.  All notes must be handwritten on notebook paper or printed/Xeroxed with highlighting and ALL will be turned in with the project.  You may not use the same bit of information in two places.

Copy of the template page (This is a "look only" version.  You will not be able to type on this page.)

Resources

The subscription databases shown on the Research Resources page provides your electronic or "Internet" resources for your project.  Reference books will be found on your class reserve cart. Some topics may also require searching the library catalog for specific titles to add to your class reserve cart.

Evaluating Information

Take notes that completely and thoroughly answer the nine required areas.  Also, you may not use the same bit of information in two places.

Citing Sources

Remember, any info that is not properly documented will be labeled plagiarism and will earn three zeroes on the Content, Form, and Analysis grades.
