Eighth Grade Project

The 1820s through the 1850s were a time of great changes in America. There were changes in technology with new inventions and social movements of various kinds tried to make the world a better place. Students will have a person from the time period to do research on and make a presentation.

They will need to make a presentation between four and eight minutes, including the salient facts about their person (born, died, married, etc.) but emphasizing more importantly how this person was a part of their changing times. What influence did they have on the way our country is now? What did they try and change for the better? Why? Why should we remember this person?

All presentations will include a public speaking portion and an additional technological portion. The second can be keynote, podcast, iMovie, slideshow, etc.

The project is due on December 17th.
