New Lit Project

We are starting a new lit project, but this one will be a little different from previous ones.  This will be mostly done in class.  They all have picked a famous person from history and they will be doing research and writing a speech about that person.  They will be doing a lot of the research at home, and then bring the information to school to do the writing.  This will be a scored speech so it is important that it is their work.  Some will be working with a partner (such as two kids doing Lewis and Clark), but it will still be scored individually.  This will require plenty of practice at home and they will need to dress as their person when giving the speech.  You are more than welcome to help the get a costume together, as well as helping them find information about their person.  To the right, I have attached a document that lists all of the kids as well as the people they have chosen to write about. 

Thank you for your help and support,

Mr. Morgan
