The students will make a PowerPoint presentation based on a biography of a historical character that they have read in class. We will fill out a biography graphic organizer.
During computer time, they will research and fill in information not supplied in their books. Then they will use their graphic organizer to create an 9 slide PowerPoint.
They will also take a series of events and put them into a timeline. The timeline will be scanned and inserted into their PowerPoint project.
