Step 1: Choose 1
from the list above that interests you the most (Lottery Style—1st
in Draft, 1st in Delivery).
Step 2: Divide up
the research with your partner. One
partner MUST CREATE A POSTER about
the topic. This poster must be on some
type of poster board that will be on display in the classroom. The other partner will create a slide presentation (Google
Presentations/Powerpoint/Prezi and 8 slide minimum).
Step 3: Research
your topic. Use
texts/periodicals/Internet to gather your research. Please include a Works Cited Slide for your
slide show and include your Works Cited on the back of the poster. Use MLA as a resource for documenting your
sources correctly. http://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-website/manual
Step 4: Work together to create your presentation to
the class.
Step 5: Present
your material to the class. Standing and
reading, incorrect spelling and pronunciation, and disorganized transitions
will be marked against you. Remember,
you are responsible for showing how your person or event was important to our
understanding of America’s involvement in Vietnam. Prepare with your partner how to best present
your material to the class.
