Here are some things to consider for the project:

Research Paper

*Do we have citations within your paper?

Example: It is estimated that overall around 21 million people died in concentration camps and ghettos (www.ushmn.com)

*Do you have a title page with your topic in bold, a picture, names of groups members, and class hour?

*Did you proofread the paper?

*Do you have a bibliography that is properly cited? In this bibliography do you have at least 4 sources (NOT COUNTING WIKIPEDIA??)

PowerPoint/Presentation

*Do you have quality pictures?

*Do you have enough slides and information to have at least an 8-10 minute presentation?

*How are you dividing the presentation up with your group members?

*DO YOU KNOW YOUR INFORMATION MORE THAN JUST READING OFF A SLIDE?? DO YOU HAVE SPECIFICS WHERE YOU CAN EXPLAIN YOUR INFORMATION INSTEAD OF JUST READING??????

*Are you prepared??

*Can we read the text? Is there too much text?

*Is your topic clearly presentation in an organized manner?

*Is your topic is a 'sympathic topic' (i.e. Holocaust, concentration camps) and are you respectful of this?
