Famous Couples Research Project Visual Representation

You have done… You have been assigned a famous couple, visited the Media Center Library Guide to find your sources, researched, and composed an annotated bibliography.

Now what? Now, your task is to create a visual representation that presents a brief history of your famous couple.

Tell me more about this visual You may choose among the approved forms of visuals listed PowerPoint Prezi poster board storybook (made from paper, poster, cardstock, etc.). You may request approval for a mode that is not listed, but you must use effort and creativity when creating your product

But, I am NOT creative You will need to add some creativity in the form of pictures/images (drawn on your own or printed from the internet) and/or color. Will points be taken off if I don’t do this? YES! Examples????

What about that writing part? Your visual representation must include three typed paragraphs. If you choose to complete a non-electronic visual, you will simply print the paragraphs, cut, and paste. *** Your paragraphs must be typed. You will have until 3/13/15 to complete this project. Make arrangements to work around any technology issues you may have or come see me (before school, lunch – 4 th period in my room or Media Center, after school, Ms. Diederich’s room).
