We gave you the period to begin researching your topics. By Thursday, you will have to present your findings to your classmates. You will need:

--a presentation of at least 8 slides, 4 of which need to be full screen images

--5 question quiz with answer key

The project worksheets and a sample of a quiz/answer key is on Schoology under the Mockingbird folder. Due tomorrow at the end of class is the quiz and answer key emailed to me or Mr. Hannah so that we may print these out for you.

This project will consist of 3 quiz grades:

--your presentation

--creation of your quiz

--your quiz average of all 5 quizzes

As this will happen all before progress reports come out on Friday, it is in your best interest to do extremely well on all of these upcoming grades. 

As advised, make sure that your group assigned each other homework to get done for tomorrow. Tomorrow is NOT the time for research. Tomorrow is when you should be putting your presentation together, rehearsing your presentation, and asking each other questions to make sure ALL of you know ALL of the information. If Mr. Hannah or I ask you a question and you do not know and cannot explain, your group will sit down. If one member is doing all the talking, and the other group members are silent, your group will sit down. If you have your hands in your pockets and are being unprofessional, your group will sit down. This is a serious project that will help prepare you to read and understand To Kill a Mockingbird, so you need to take this seriously as we are. 

If you have any questions, please email me or Mr. Hannah for clarification.
