8th Grade: Presentation Information

Hello:

There was a request today for clarification on the steps you need to take to successfully complete your Family History Presentations.

Steps 1 and 2 you should already have:
1) Family Tree
2) Information from your interview questions

Step 3: Arrange the information from the family tree and your interview questions into a presentation (this is the summary part on your rubric). You may organize it into paragraphs, note cards, on a poster, or in any other tangible (physical, able to be turned in) way you choose.

Step 4: Choose a primary source from your family's history and evaluate it using the document analysis worksheet on the back of your "Family History Project: Part 1" sheet (the one on which we wrote the interview questions). Bring this primary source (or a picture of it, if it is delicate or may be easily broken) to class for your presentation so you can explain it.

Step 5: Practice your presentation at home and be ready to go on either Thursday or Friday! :)

Bring your rubric to class on the day of your presentation!

After your presentation you will hand in the following:
-completed family tree (worth 10 pts on your presentation rubric)
-written summary (whether on a poster, note cards, paragraphs, etc.)
-original questions sheet with primary source analysis on back (and separate document sheet if you requested it)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
