2.  You are going to become experts on your topic!  You will create a handout that will be distributed to the rest of the class  The handout MUST include the following information

3.  Title and Date(s) of the event  Background of your event ◦ bullet points or a timeline  Summary of the event itself (2-3 paragraphs)  Important statistics and/or facts about the time period in which the event took place. ◦ Facts about the time period ◦ Attitudes during the time period ◦ Other events that happened around the same time  Explanation of how your event has shaped our society today

4.  You may create your handout on the computer or by hand  It should be on regular computer paper, no more than 8.5”x11”  It MAY NOT be simply a page of text! ◦ Block out your information so that each piece is easily picked out ◦ You can use a grid, or visual effects to separate your handout (think infographic)  Make copies of your handout to give out to everyone in class: perhaps make 6-7 copies each so no one is making all 32 copies

6.  In your groups, go over the research that you printed/took notes on last night  Close read and highlight important facts in your own research  Discuss your research with your group members. What did you all find? What were you confused by? What is important, and do you all agree?

7.  Decide what things you should include about the background of the time period (this may require additional research tonight for homework)  Come up with a rough outline of your summary  Divide up your handout and decide how you want everything to be laid out
