Final Project!
As a class you decided to learn more about the History of Pandemics. Each of you that was on Zoom chose a Pandemic you wanted to research. I am going to list them again, along with a few others. Your goal with this project is to teach your fellow classmates AND ME about the topic within the Pandemic you chose.
Today is the day to post your presentation and attach your infographic! Remember, your presentation should be no less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Tell us what you learned and explain what you drew for your infographic. This will be worth more than just a couple points, so put your time and effort into it.
A. Pandemics to Choose From:
B. Topics to Research:
The entire project is due today. (You do not want to be working on it on your graduation day!) I suggest setting a timer for 40 minutes (just like we were in class) and work on it. I would write out your presentation so you don't forget anything. Please DO NOT read from a website. Make sure you know how to pronounce all the words and know the meanings of everything you are saying.
I attached the Flipgrid spot for all of you to submit your 2 minute 30 second-3 minute presentations. Remember to use your ID to get into Flipgrid. (This was sent in an e-mail last month.)

You do NOT need to write in your Primary Source Journal this week; if you would like to continue it for yourself, by all means do so.
