Black History Month

Objective: Students will begin work on their black history project, creating a blog for an influential African American.

PLEASE READ: You will be creating a project on:

Amber - Rosa Parks
Janae - Oprah Winfrey
DaQuan - Malcom X
Alexis - Tiger Woods
Ashley - David Patterson
Thatcher - Malcom X
Dorian - Michelle Obama
Shantasia - Harriet Tubman
Bianca - Corretta Scott King
Devine - Venus Williams
Anthony - Frederick Douglass
Tajanae - Halle Berry
Davina - Barack Obama
Kenneth - Bill Cosby
Destiny - Barack Obama
Keyana - Missy Elliot
Jashayla - Maya Angelou
Josh - George Washington Carver
Kyle - Martin Luther King
Angelica - Condoleezza Rice

I need Jquantey, Chanel, Romello, Tierra, Erin & Kellen to see me about their individual.

DO THIS - Each student will be creating a separate blog on their individual. This blog will have a biography of this person, with many links, pictures and other items.

Today:

• Create a separate blog for your individual. Add a proper background. (This means no horoscope signs or pictures of Lil Wayne or your friends.)
• Link this blog to yours (the one you use in class.)
• Add pictures of your individual. Have at least 5.
• Begin to research the biography of your individual. You will need to write 3 paragraphs of a biography. This will need to include: birth date, birth place, education, career, family, hometown, hobbies, important events or milestones, death (if applicable.)

THERE WILL BE NO COPY AND PASTE OF YOUR BIOGRAPHY. YOU MUST WRITE ON YOUR OWN. COPY AND PASTE WILL RESULT IN A FAILING GRADE AND REMOVAL FROM THE COMPUTER LAB.

Please note: Several of you will be presenting your blog to the entire school on February 26, in a Black History Month Assembly.

Please note: Your behavior in the hallway is what allows you to have headphones! Stay in line and stay quiet.

Please note: Your behavior in class is what allows you to sit by your friends. Seats will be changed in class next week, as they will in the computer lab.
