Search for Sources and Select the Most Useful
Today you will find sources for the famous person you would like to learn more about. Find Directions in your packet information for
Day 3/Day 4 and on.
After you have collected a set of sources, you will collect information on that person (on the ABC Evaluating and Taking Notes document)
using three (or more) of the sources you record below, and you will create a PowerPoint about that person to present to your class.
If your person is not working, stop, select another person and save sources in the next column.
Note: A source is useful when there is enough biographical information (information about his or her life) to provide at least 10 important
and interesting facts for your PowerPoint. You will use at least three sources for your PowerPoint.
