Research
Groups will use the provided research resources
to do research
on a selected slave or former slave. They will use a
form to record the
information. Upon finishing the research, they will use
a rubric to self-assess
and peer-assess their research work. They will then turn
in their research
forms to the teacher who will use the same rubric to
assess the group's
learning before having them move on to the next
activity, creating the
storymap for the Power Point.
Power Point Presentations
This sample Power Point can be used as templates

adapted for student Power Points on this topic.
