Age of Exploration
Explorer Presentation Project
With your partner, create a talk-show style Q&A about your explorer (one reporter, one explorer).
Your presentation should be around 5 minutes. If you want to make a movie over the weekend rather than presenting live in front of the class, you need to be sure you’ll be ready to present it at your presentation time.
You may script the Q&A any way you like, but you must cover these main points:
1. Background (childhood, country of origin, etc)
2. Country they sailed for (sometimes different from origin)
3. Why they are famous (what were their big accomplishments or discoveries?)
4. Difficulties and successes encountered on the voyage(s)
5. Overall character
Have fun, be creative. Points will be earned for being on-task today and Monday, for having good information in your presentation, good presentation skills, and creativity. This project is worth an individual participation grade of 10 points, and a partner grade of 25 points in Projects.
You don't need to memorize your presentation! You may want to get the script done today so you can practice on Monday in class.Useful Links:

Clarification re: Quarter Grades
Hey gang -
I just double checked re: quarter grades, and I forgot that since grades closed on the 2nd, nothing I've graded after that (ie, stuff this week) will be on your first quarter grade. So those of you with work or assignment sheets you didn't turn in from this week, breathe a bit easier.

1. Revised thesis/method statements
2. Began research
In the library on Tuesday!
FOR HOMEWORK
for Tuesday
Preliminary Outline: Revised thesis block with three topic sentences. Each TS must have a supporting fact and the source where you found it). You don't need to write a conclusion yet.
As you revise your thesis block, make sure it is specific and debatable and that your method statement supports your thesis statement.
(example)
Thesis Block: While most people commonly associate the creation of the Anglican church with Henry VIII, there were several other key factors that led to the English Reformation. While Henry's quest for a son encouraged him to reject the Pope's authority, the long standing political conflict between the Catholic Church and English rulers, and sweeping societal changes at the end of the Renaissance also helped cement the rise of Protestantism in England.
Topic Sentence #1: Henry VIII's six wives and a desire for a male heir are certainly the mos well-known reason for England's break with the Catholic Church.
- Fact: Henry rejected the church in order to divorce his wife, since divorce wasn't allowed under Church law.
- Source: "Henry VIII and Tudor England" (http://www.britainexpress.com/History/Henry_VIII.htm)
Topic Sentence #2: (and so on...)
Topic Sentence #3: (and so on)
A WORD ON SOURCES
You will need to have FIVE SOURCES total, three websites, two books. You don't need to use five sources for your preliminary outline, but make an effort to use a few different sources to be sure you're getting supporting facts from a number of different places.
Also make sure to start to keep track of your sources - keep a list of works you read, including author, title, publisher, URL, pg #'s where you found information, and a short summary of what was in it.
