Slide5
By the end of this presentation you will use the reading strategies and knowledge of primary and secondary sources to create a project over one of the topics you learned about.
Historians, you will be working in a group to:
-Locate and use 2 primary sources and 2 secondary sources to formulate your research ideas about a time period.-Create a Prezi, Powerpoint, Movie Maker movie, or a Glogster about the time period you researched.
- Present the project to the class.
Your Task: Slide6
Head Researcher:
The job of the head researcher is to find resources and help assemble information. They aren't the only one responsible for research!
Note Taker: The note taker is responsible for keeping notes organized and orderly. Again, the note taker isn't the only one responsible for taking notes, but they are to keep up with the notes from anyone in the group.Team Leader:
As a team leader, you are to 'keep the peace'.If there is an issue beyond the team leader's control, it is their job to
come get the teacher. The team leader helps with research,
taking notes, technology, etc., but their main role is to keep
everyone in check.
Technology Specialist:The technology specialistis in charge of typing up the final project and is in control of the computer aspect of the project. Just as with the other roles, the technology specialist is to help research and take notes. Student RolesSlide7
1. Determine who will complete each role during the project. Remember each group member can assist with any of the roles. You need to work together and compromise if there are disagreements!
2. Watch the video on primary and secondary sources to learn the difference between these two types of resources.
3. Go through the UNRAAVEL guide to learn how to use this beneficial reading strategy when reading non-fiction text. 4. Decide which event in history your group would like to research. The event must take place in any time period from Westward Expansion to Reconstruction.
5. Begin to research using the provided resources. Use a graphic organizer to take notes. Make sure to find at least 2 primary sources and 2 secondary sources.
6. While the head researcher and note taker keep researching, the other group members can begin creating your technology project. You can create a
Prezi, Powerpoint, Popplet, Movie Maker movie, or Glogster.
7. Prepare your presentation! Decide who will be in charge of each
part of the presentation. 8. Practice, practice, practice! ProcessSlide8

Conclusion
Now it is time to reflect on your learning experience. Each group member will answer the following questions in their journal. This will allow you to think deeply about what you learned and come up with ideas for projects to complete in the future!
*What did you learn from the role that you had during the project?
*How would you have seen the project differently if you had a different role?
*How did your group work together? Were you able to compromise and get along with each other?
*What would you do differently next time?
*What new questions do you have about the topic you
researched? *Why do you feel that these are important questions to have? Slide22
