**__ Wise person project __** You will be writing a biography of your person, based on interviews with some historical information added based on research when they were in high school. It will only be about the time they were in high school, or should have been if they didn’t go to high school.
 * __ Ruuamau - 2009 __**

Here an order you may follow, if you choose (you may also use these words for chapter headings.)


 * 1) Introduction of the person
 * 2) Technology available during this time
 * 3) Political issues during this time
 * 4) Fashion
 * 5) Religious attitudes and feelings
 * 6) Racial problems
 * 7) Stories of what happened to them

Your biography will be written as a research paper with chapter headings and citations in the body of the work You must also have a citation page at the end of it.

The second portion of this project is a visual presentation. This is some kind of visual representation that will honor this person with whom you have been working. It may be drawn, pictures in a collage, a power point, or anything else you come up with. The purpose is to be very creative in doing something to honor this person. It will be looked at during our tea.

The third portion of this project is a short story. This will be a work of fiction and will be set in the time period of your biography. You must pay attention to the format of a short story with an exposition (introduction of characters and setting), rising action (things are going well for your protagonist and the reader will develop a relationship with the protagonist and realize that the antagonist isn’t a good person). Then you will have a turning point/climax (something shocking and bad happens to the protagonist) followed by falling action (everything seems to fall apart for the protagonist), then end it quickly with the resolution and ending. Those are the things I will specifically be looking for.

The ** preparation date will be April 24 ** and our tea will be that afternoon. Your parents, your elder person and you are invited to share the honoring of these wonderful people and your tremendous work on this project. All bells will be displayed and viewed. Please do everything you can to show honor and respect to the person you have chosen to do. Attendance is mandatory and you will receive a grade for attending.

The following is a time table with check points in it. You will be showing me your progress and I will note your progress with grades as we go along. Sometimes they might be homework grades, other times might be in different categories. Please don’t miss any of your due dates. This is a great way to keep your grades up for this semester.

It would be a good idea if you keep a folder of your work and don’t wait until the night before your due dates to do the work. This is an on-going process and you need to use your time wisely. I am including calendars where I want you to write your personal plan of action as to when you will do your work. I will also give you a grade for this calendar so be sure you keep it up. If you have your own planner, you may photo copy it for your grades, but it would be easier for me to just be able to collect the ones I give you.
