Dear Students:
You have each received a slip with the name of a famous person on it. These people lived between 1350-1600 A.D. This blog entry is to tell you what you must do, in case you do not remember what was said in class.
Starting THURSDAY, 09/22/11, YOU will help teach the class. You will introduce the person on your slip of paper to the rest of us.
(1) Go to the library or online and read a biography, encyclopedia article, or other information about this person.
(2) You will be graded on the following:
a. Dates (when the person lived and died.
b. Nationality--Where was this person from?
c. What was his/her position in society?
d. What were some of this person's achievements?
e. Are there any interesting stories about this person?
f. Use your own words.
g. Give me your source(s).
(3) If you handwrite your paper, it should be 1-1.5 pages long. If you use a word processor, it should be about 1/2-3/4 pages. Submit a paper; do not send an attachment.
(4) Keep some notes for yourself. These will help you when you present to the class.
(5) If you just cut and paste an internet article, you will get a zero. REMEMBER: I have a good idea about your vocabulary and grasp of English grammar! DON'T MAKE ME SUSPICIOUS!
(6) Everyone must present to the class! If you are scared or shy, that's alright. We all need to learn how to speak and present to an audience.
(7) I look forward to hearing from you all starting next Thursday!
Dr. Herz
