DUE: Not until the month of March -- the first presentation will begin Week 26 and we will have one or two presentations each week until we are finished.
REQUIREMENTS: Since it is an 'oral' project there must be an 'oral' component -you must get in front of the class and share. Even if your project can stand alone on it's own, you must introduce it at the beginning or provide some sort of summary at the end. The only other requirement is that your project is in someway connected to your family history within the time frame of this class (1400s to 1920s).
I mentioned this project to you in the first weeks of class when we went over the syllabus together because I wanted it to be in the back of your mind all year. I brought it up again a couple of weeks ago because I know that many of us will be getting together with family over the holidays. It is a good time to ask questions, get family to tell stories and begin forming a plan for your project.
I'm going to leave the format of this totally up to you. You are welcome to use technology - slide shows, digital photos, mp3's, movies, etc. Feel free to ask me questions, but I want to leave a lot of room for interpretation - room for your creativity!
