EVERYONE IN CLASS MUST HAVE AN ID PICTURE TAKEN TODAY!

 The Day Has Come......

Today you will finish up your Google Drive MY BIO Presentations and begin to present them to the class! 

When your name is called, I will find the Google Drive PRESENTATION you SHARED with me for credit.  You will click the PRESENT Button and go to the front of the class and give your presentation.

While everyone is watching you present, they will have the following website up on their computer.  After each presentation, students will fill out and submit the PRESENTATION REVIEW FORM.  I will make the final reviews public and you can log in and find the reviews of your presentation on your own.



Just about any school, career, or organization you join for the rest of your life will require some public speaking.  I realize we all just met, but you need to be able to stand up in front of a room full of people with confidence.  YOU ARE THE EXPERT ABOUT YOU!  Relax, breathe, present the autobiography calmly and loud enough for everyone to hear, and it will all be over in a couple minutes.

Good Luck!!


ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Students will learn the basic ways to complete internet-based research.  
Students will focus on a famous historical figure and complete research about that person’s life, and a significant event during that time in history.  
Students will be required to create a summary project based on that event and that person.  
Students will review and comment on work created by their peers in class.

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!
Students will use the resources in class to create a Facebook-Style page for a famous historical figure.  The page created must center around a specific event from that person’s life, and research must be done to describe the person, event, and other people who would have been involved!  Today students will focus on Page 1 and 5 to complete a Facebook-Style conversation. This is a single-step in a multi-step project.  Additional time will be allotted for students who fall behind to catch up.  Peer Mentoring is wildly encouraged.
STUDENTS MUST START BY READING ALL DIRECTIONS ON CLASS WEBSITE!

TODAY EVERYONE WILL CONTINUE THEIR WORK ON THE HISTORICAL FIGURE FACEBOOK PROJECT:

We will start with a brief Re-Introduction to the project and time for questions.  Most of you are on the right track, and just need additional time to get the project finished.  The projects are still technically considered late if they are not completed by 4pm Friday (Tomorrow), but I want to make sure that everyone has a chance to present their best work.  Monday we will be turning our final drafts of this project into a Tackk.com webpage about our Historical Figure.  Please finish work on this project for the next two days in class.  

I want everyone to have the best chance of creating an interesting and complete project.  PLEASE USE THE LINKS BELOW TO REFERENCE THE PREVIOUS POSTS ABOUT THIS PROJECT.  Pay particular attention to the PROJECT DETAILS PAGE below for specific information about what is required for each page of your project:

Integrity (13 Characteristics)

13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due: They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.

3. They Are Authentic: They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.

4. They Are Always Honest: They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.

5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others: They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.

6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements: They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.

7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt: They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.

8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone: They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.

9. They Believe In Others: They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.

10. They Apologize First: If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.

11. They Are Humble: They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.

12. They Do Good When They Can: They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.

13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It: Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.

If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
