World History Research Project #1

Requirements

Pick a major event or figure from WWII

Research this event/ person to gain a masterful understanding of this event (You need to use at least 3 different sources, and you must site them all)

- Note: you can start with Wikipedia, but use the links within the site so you can assure the validity of the information)

There is no specific length requirement. Just make sure you have included all key figures or ‘players’ in the event. Explain how it started, what transpired during the event, how did it end (if it has), and what was the lasting impact.

Put all this information together in visual representation that you see fit. (Prezi, PP, poster, video, website, etc.)

- Note: you need to present your information in a way that is easy for someone else to learn. Summarize your information, make it ascetically pleasing, focus on what matters, and ‘dumb’ it down to make it easy for anyone to understand.

1. Search engines search each individual word, not complete sentences. (so be specific about what you are looking for)

2. Do not be afraid to use videos.

3. Save your rough notes and site in a word doc, so you can access them later

4. Check in with me regularly to make sure you’re on the right path

5. Give “Google Books” a try
