1. Fill out the group contract:

Section 1; Write down email addresses and phone numbers of group members
in your notebooks (not on the contract)
Section 2; Write down what you will be doing
Section 3; Write who is responsible for what (what is each member going to
be responsible for researching? What is each member going to be presenting
on? How are you going to divide making the PowerPoint? Etc..)
Section 4; Write down your group rules

2. Research your groups battle; Find out everything you can about the battle. You
should be taking notes while you research and writing down the sites you have used.

Background information (important events that led up to the battle or any
important information that puts the battle into context)
Tactics that were used; how the battle played out; what happened during the
battle

Impact on the war; significance
3. Create an outline (rough draft) of how your group plans to present the information:
The order in which information will be presented
Which group members will be presenting various information and what they
will be speaking about (probably the same info. that was researched)
4. Create multimedia presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi) covering the researched
information:
Presentations should be 3-4 minutes long
Everyone in the group has to speak
Presentations need to be emailed to me at joel.davis@bonsallusd.com, and
your group needs to state the name of your battle and your class period in the
subject line.
You must include a bibliography at the end of the presentation, so write down
your sources as you research. You must have at least 4 sources
Refer to the rubric to see how you will be graded.
5. Practice the presentation:
You must rehearse the presentation. Your group should dedicate an entire
class period to rehearsaldont spend too much time on the PowerPoint.
