Activity+8-B-1

Activity 8-B-1: Local History Project It’s finally time to show off all your hard work on the local history project! Because this project is the culmination of multiple weeks of work, it is worth 100 points and will be assessed with the **Final Project Rubric** in **Getting Started.** View your classmates’ projects on the wiki. Provide feedback to at least two of your peers through a comment on their wiki pages.
 * 1) Collect any final resources needed for your project.
 * 2) Decide which resources you will actually use. You may not need everything you found, so pick the most effective and engaging primary source materials.
 * 3) Determine what format you are going to use to present the project. You will post your project on the class wiki, but you have several options of what it might look like. See the Key Information for details.
 * 4) Include an introduction and conclusion to help tie your presentation together. Add transitions or anything else needed to create a polished presentation.
