Essays on World Leaders
I have read through 54 of the 99 essays on world leaders. Many of them are wonderfully written and detailed. Checking the sources is the most time-consuming task, so I will continue to grade them and will get your grades back to you ASAP! If you read this note, tell me the phrase "Democracy in Action" for a special surprise for visitng the blog.

Group Projects Teaching plan due by Friday!
Each member of your group should be working on seperate parts of the project. Be sure that on your teaching plan you include all of your names, the time needed for your lesson, and any EQUIPMENT you need! I will schedule teaching lessons for next Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday. Be prepared to teach any day next week - it will be based on time needed in class and who turns in their lesson plans first.
Some things you might want to include in your lesson:
YOUR NAMES + TIME NEEDED + EQUIPMENT
1. Steps of what your lesson will be about:
a. Introduction (maybe even a "warm-up")
b. Objective of the lesson - what will the class learn
c. Visual aid w/info
d. Information that you found out about your leader
e. Items noted on your group rubric (da-zi-bao, comparison, decisions, communism, etc)
2. Sources for your research
3. Closing ( restate your objective for then lesson)

Only one blog or web page should be created for a group project - everyone from the group can access this at the same time to add items, link a photo, post a document or outline to the web page, etc.
