Good afternoon LINC 7,
You will have the entire period this afternoon to work on your research and prepare your presentation using PowerPoint, Prezi, or Google Drive.
Once you've completed your research, you'll need to think about what information to include. Remember not to include to much information on each slide. For a 15 minute presentation, you shouldn't use more than 12 slides, including the title slide and the list of references at the end. It's expected to include references in presentations, and this will give you an opportunity to practice using APA before you complete the next stage of this lesson. ;)
Melissa and I will be available to help you creating your slides and formatting your APA references.
Because of the Family Day holiday on Monday, February 17th, presentations will be on the following days: Monday, Feb. 24th, Wednesday, Feb. 26th, and Monday, March 3rd. Once everyone has selected a topic, I will circulate a sign-up sheet for these three days.
Consider this structure when putting together your presentation:
- what are the significant events in your person's life?
- what was his/her contribution to Canada?
- how can you connect (or not) with your person?
Here are some websites to help you get started with your research:

You may need to visit the library to find more information and remember NO Wikipedia!
